Would anyone be interested in getting large formatted screen positives. I have a printer that has capabilities of printing 50" wide and pretty much how ever long needed. I am based out of NY and will print your guys designs. let me know!!!

Total black n white.

Hey there. I'm still semi new to screenprinting, and I want to do the "rancid effect" to a photo in photoshop, that is turning it to complete black and white(or 2 tones of any color). No halftones. Anyone know the easiest way to achieve this?

Automated quoting/ordering software for clients

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have a software that clients can go on, look at options, upload artwork and build their own quote with artwork and everything included? Would like a software where all I have to do is approve the quote to turn it into an order.

Printing that isn't sh

0 Upvotes

I like tri-blend shirts.

Been buying them off of sites like RedBubble and Amazon, but they both ended up throwing it at a third party.

Pretty much all of them were printing out 72dpi .jpegs on my sht, and with this awful thick plastic like print job. Idk what to call it, but it's sucks and shouldn't even be a thing imo. Who wants to wear a shirt with a thick unfoldable graphic?

For no reason, I got lucky with one of them. The print was of high dpi, quality and it actually printed directly into the fibers of the shirt.

Basically, where the hell do I find this specific combination:

Triblend, print is hq, not uploaded by idiots, bleeds into and becomes fabric

Just bought these 2 screens. Botton print is 200 mesh. Top print is 180 mesh.
1. What type of ink is safe to use on these screens so I can use them for a long time.
2. After done with the printing on shirts how would I wash away the leftover ink on the screen, with just water? Or?

Equipment Off contact for BWM Hopkins

Post image
2 Upvotes

I inherited a BWM Hopkins International D-5200 and I've been struggling with the off contact. I know how to set the vertical but I don't know how to set the tilt. I'm assuming it's these two bolts behind the vertical off contact bolts in the picture but I can't find any manuals online. I'm trying to loosen them to see but they're really stuck.

Can anyone confirm if it's these two bolts? If they are I might have to go out and get an impact driver to loosen them.
