Why can’t he burn the image onto the screen? What are some differences btw stencil screen printing t-shirts and silk screen printing t-shirts? I’m really confused
Stencils will work with spray paint. Advice when doing so would be to use a re positionable spray adhesive on your stencil, if the stencil isnt stuck to the fabric, the air in the spray can will lift it and you will have an over-sprayed image Enjoy- Nathan with VIP Only Customs
Fabric paint being used, will bond and stay in the fibers. But try to wash it in cold water and do not machine dry, this will result in a better image because the shirt wont shrink and distort the image and the color will last MUCH longer. Enjoy- Nathan with VIP Only Customs
This is awesome. Great reusable system when you don’t have screens to spare. Do you load the screen with more ink every time you do a new shirt or just when you feel it beginning to thin.
great tutorial but it would be much faster for multi shirts if you attached the stencil to screen with tape and used a cheap hobby press to print the shirts.
@pimmyh Early on in the comments listing, he does say that the material as Mylar. Moreover, he built his screen, but I’ve seen them available in the $20-50 range.
My question, now, is, though – Garrett? Amazing video; much appreciated – I was looking just like something like this out of worry for damaging my stencil during paint application – but what mesh is your screen? With such fine detail, I wonder if you use a high level mesh? (110++?)
Hi Garrett – I know nothing about screen printing (and I may have missed this in your video) but the screen just seems to allow for an even distribution and application of the paint right? Couldn’t I also just blot on the stencil with a sponge like tool?

how do you wash it? do most of the ink sticks? or is there a special way to wash it?

squeegee*
but wont the ink go through from the inside of the shirt? and where would u buy a squeeqee like that?
how very interestin’…
Awesome! Simple and to the point. In my opinion this way is better/easier than using emulsion.
That looks really exciting, i cant wait to try it out myself!

I think it looks like Mylar. The kind that architects use to draw their building plans.
