Learn How To Screen Print: Photopolymer vs Dual Cure Emulsions

Okay here’s a screenprinting video about direct liquid emulsions I probably should have made a long time ago. I know we have discussed this topic and most likely have talked about what I do in this video in the past. But I wanted to make a video that was easy to access so this particular information could stand alone and help people make decisions on which emulsion to use for their particular set up.

On another note I may have some very excellent news to announce in the next few days. Remember that thing I’ve been trying to do for the past 6 months? AND…. I am leaving for ISS Long Beach tomorrow morning. So I will be busy and maybe quiet for the next few days as I try to make some new show videos for you this time around.

Enjoy the video! It’s only as long as it needed to be for me to convey the information…. LOL 😉

This is an educational screenprinting video about the differences between dual cure and photopolymer emulsions. Here we will discuss the basic and most general characteristics of each emulsion and compare them to one another. Do you know which emulsion is ready to use out of the bucket? Which emulsion has a longer shelf life? Is there an emulsion that is easier to work with when you have a home brew screen printing set up? All of these questions and more are answered in this tutorial screenprinting video. This video is an excellent summary review of direct liquid emulsions for screen printing textiles and other substrates. If you’re in the market for a new emulsion then check out this video before you buy. It will certainly clear up a few things about photo emulsions for screen printing.

Learn How To Screen Print: Sleeve Printing Production Run

Here’s our first screenprinting video of 2015! This is a fun production run video with short sleeve printing and long sleeve printing. Here you’ll get an inside look at how sleeves are screen printed and how they are set through the infrared belt dryer. If you have even wanted to print sleeves then this video is a complementary must to our other sleeve printing videos. In this video Jonathan also explains the current state of our printing services at Catspit Productions, LLC. We have finally made the full conversion to supplier and we no longer screen print commercially. Hear what Jonathan has to say about it. So check out this very entertaining video with awesome music by Predecessor. It contains the full track “Through the Winter’s Cold.” That’s somewhat appropriate isn’t it?

10 very good reasons why you should buy #screenprinting #supplies and #equipment from Jonathan Monaco at Catspit Productions;

1) Satisfaction is guaranteed – You’re doing business with a small business that cares about you and the products we sell. If our products don’t live up to your expectations, that’s embarrassing and we’ll do everything we can to make it right even if we have to spend money. Satisfaction is guaranteed on every sale.

2) Lifetime guarantee only from Catspit – We guarantee all Ranar screenprinting presses to last a lifetime. Catspit Productions guarantees all parts, with the exception of MDF pallets, for a lifetime for the original owner if you buy through Catspit Productions. We do not guarantee or warrantee Ranar presses bought through Ranar or other dealers.

3) Unique press design – The Ranar screen printing presses we sell use compression springs rather than dangerous expansion springs or weak gas shocks. The compression spring and lift arm parts are all guaranteed for a lifetime, of course. All of our products are made and/or assembled in the USA.

4) Catspit gives back – Catspit Productions produces free educational videos on YouTube for all. We do not make and sell DVD’s about how to screen print. We share this information freely and do not profit from selling tutorials online. Your purchases help support the continued production of free tutorial videos for all to enjoy and prosper from.

5) Quality, durability, reliability – Our equipment uses more welds than bolts. Even on the Vista press which is modular and upgradable we have more welds than many of the “erector set” type equipment that you see today. Ranar has been building screenprinting equipment for over 30 years and they never bought out any other plans, designs or brand names to call their own. We use 100% original designs that have been proven over the years through usage by screen printers.

CBX2024 v-6600[1]

6) No sales tax on many out of State orders – No sales tax on all equipment purchases out of or in Arizona State. We only charge sales tax for California on equipment and supplies. Sales tax is charged for supplies in Arizona but not on equipment. We’re still small enough to not have to pay taxes on out of state internet sales. Those tax savings are your savings. Sometimes doing business with a smaller company has its sales tax benefits.

7) Free shipping on all major equipment purchases – FREE SHIPPING on equipment purchases! We offer free shipping anywhere in the continental United States on all equipment purchase over $100. That’s right! Our major discount incentive saves you hundreds if not thousands on shipping your equipment to you. We’re the only Ranar dealer in the US to offer free shipping all year round. You don’t have to wait for a sale to save on freight.

8) Honest and fair low pricing – Compare our low pricing, no sales tax, and free shipping on major equipment purchases to their pricing and “free” shipping. Jonathan tries hard to price products fairly and never inflates pricing to compensate for shipping incentives. We think you’ll see that the free shipping is not always free.

9) Free technical support for all – Whether you buy from us or not feel free to give Jonathan a call if you need help with anything. That’s what we do here. We teach and educate first. Helping you with your equipment and supplies purchases comes secondary to that. An informed customer is a happy customer. And all equipment purchases come with lifetime support. Just give us a call.

10) Stimulate the US economy – Supporting small businesses helps stimulate the economy and create jobs. Help your Mom and Pop businesses thrive and grow in this corporate world. Support traditional capitalism and entrepreneurs around the globe. That’s what makes the internet so powerful. You have a choice.

That’s really more than 10 isn’t it? What are you waiting for? Give us a call today

Screenprinting Pocket Pallet Recipient Crazy Craze Holiday Fun!

So here it is. The highly anticipated freebie pocket pallet giveaway. In this very silly screenprinting video I tell you who gets the free pocket pallet chosen by random. I’ve been a bit busy lately and getting little sleep so I admit I am a bit silly in this video. If you want a good laugh then this video is for you whether or not you’re in it to get the free pocket pallet.  So enjoy and have a great Christmas and New Year’s. I’ll be back after the 1st of January to make new videos. But have no fear I’m still here to take questions and answer comments. And equipment or supply orders 😉

Happy Holidays!

I have not been getting a lot of sleep lately so I apologize if I am overly silly in this video. Sometimes we just have to let it all out. In this screenprinting video we simply goof off and give away that pocket pallet I offered to random commenters of the freebie video. So after much deliberation….. meaning letting someone chose randomly without any thought, we found our recipient. Thanks to Cliff Horn for responding quickly and supplying the necessary information for shipping. So sit back and have a laugh while you watch this corny holiday video and see if you were the one picked to get the free pocket pallet. Thanks to everyone for participating. I appreciate all your support very much. Happy holidays to you all and have a great New Year!

Screenprinting Artwork In AI: Reversing Line Art For White On Black

Okay so I was trying to have this video ready for this morning. But Mondays are crazy and I was very busy. Because of the upcoming Christmas Holiday I decided to upload anyway to stay on schedule. This video is supposed to explain the difference between reversing artwork from white ink on black tee shirts as opposed to not. I already confused 1 person so we may have to do a follow up with some printing to elaborate. But if you need to print line art in white in on dark tee shirts then you’ll want to watch this video.

In this educational screenprinting video we discuss a very basic topic that most screen printers over look. That’s right, even the most experienced screen printers can be guilty of not reversing line art when we print white ink on black tee shirts. Screen printing is a magical process in that we start with a positive and create a negative with the emulsion on the screen. When we print that negative with dark ink on lighter colored shirts everything looks pretty normal. But what happens when we print a positive image in white ink through this reversal process? The negative screen actually wants to print a positive but since we are laying white ink on a black shirt it can often look like a negative print. How do you prevent that? What can be done to make the print look like a positive? How can we use the black of the shirt to create the positive line art? This video attempts to answer those questions. It’s a simple concept but it can be a little confusing in all the negative to positive talk but I think this video should help.

How To Screen Print: Caring for High Mesh Counts & Small Tears

Okay so I had a few customers lately ask about mesh and getting tears or punctures in their higher mesh count screens. Of course any screen can get a tear but high mesh counts are more fragile and more susceptible to damage. So in this video I give you some simple tips for caring for mesh and even patching small holes or slight tears. This video ended up being a little longer than I hoped but if you want to learn all the gritty details from a real screen printer then it will be worth your while. I hope you all enjoy.

Learn how to screen print tee shirts. In this educational screenprinting video we discuss some basic tips for caring for your higher mesh counts. These tips could apply to all mesh counts however but higher mesh counts are the most delicate and fragile. So how do you prevent tears, punctures and runs? It’s actually very simple. There are a few things you can do to prevent damage to screen mesh especially higher mesh counts. Learn all about caring for your screenprinting screens and even how to fix minor holes. That’s right! In this video I also show you how to patch small punctures and tears with duct tape or Gorilla tape. In some instances we can actually cover a tear with duct tape and keep the holes from getting bigger thus allowing us to continue to use the screen. So if you have ever torn screen mesh and wondered if you could repair it then this video is a must see. It will also help you learn ways to keep tears from happening in the first place.
