What is that music they play in the beginning? Its nice.
fucking dum ass the sun dusent rotate arown the earth 1:18
do you burn the image on the top (inside) or bottom (outside) of the screen? from this video it looks like it’s the bottom but i’m not sure.
instead of using the unpredictable sun to burn you should have used a flood light. hell you have already splurged on getting all the crap you needed why not spend another 20-50 bucks for a reliable burner.
you can just print it off of a printer using jet black, or if you could just draw on the transparencies with black or red marker (red actually works better, its completely opaque) or anything else you want to try to draw with, have fun, try new things : D
Yes you can use Plexiglas it is only to hold your film in place glass is use mostly because it is heavier
Photo copy your template onto an overhead projector transparency.
Great video taught me a lot i got my own stuff and gave it a shot but i had a rude awakening and found that it is a lit harder than it looks. I now have about $150 of stuff in the basement including a screen with a fist hole through it. I will still get back on the horse and try again. People be careful of what you are getting into if your not committed to this then don’t even bother.

This is a fun video to watch! Good stuff. Check out my videos for tutorials on screen printing and heat transferring tee shirts. Questions welcome.
THANK YOU so fuken MUCH!!! I’ve been looking around the net to find this kind of tutorial. This video is the first one I found.
lol helpul and funny..
but one thing i need to know be4 i attempt this…how do you get your design onto the transparent film in black?
lol what a funny how to, 237th floor, 6000 deg kelvin, sun revolves around the earth. I wonder if many people caught that, plus i learned the basics of screen printing!
Ooh yeah, does it need to be glass or can I use plexiglass ?
Best is a hallogeenlamp of uv light
so expose is alwas same and than you can make it yourself with a couple of uv lamps in a box an than simpley place the screen above it, or with a lamp obove you screen
I prefer digital printing to screen printing.
kornelk – the emulsion is cured by the sun the dark ink of the design blocks the sun and the emulsion doesn’t harden allowing it to be washed away
oh! I didn’t know you could just expose it to the sun. i did a screenprinting workshop where there was the whole dark room and uv light machine thingy. didn’t realise I could achieve the same thing from home!..
Amazing video! I’m not sure i get it, what is the heat of the sun (4:11) doing to the emulsion actually? How is it possilble the part which was covered can be cleaned with water?
pretty cool video, easy to follow and straight to the point, cheers! x
what a cute video.
I like the intro… very Kermit the frog News Flashy. Talking and “not knowing” the camera was already rolling. LOL.
Lol… I caught that too
You can screen print on anything so long as it can’t move
I have a state of the art Dark Room he he he….
