I'm going to show you how to screen print and heat press oil stick around welcome back and if
you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe so that way you don't miss out on some of our vlogs
like we got this inter tall Titan here which was vlogging getting it together press tech all that
coming in we have screen printing tutorials and design tutorials as well as business tutorials so
let's go ahead and dive right into this tutorial I think I could have said tutorial one more time
all right I got my screen side kicked over here makes loading eat up a lot easier which in this
case we're using a plastic Yousef and I'm just gonna load up a generous amount but I'm going to
make sure not to press it down in the image area that way we get a nice accurate print you're going
to want a fairly soft squeegee 70 durometer is just fine you could even use a 16 that will help
to really push that plastics all foiled he civ through that mesh so I'm going to turn on my
heat press because we will need the heat press in order to accomplish this you're going to
want to set your heat press to 320 degrees for about 15 seconds the instructions say anywhere
from 300 to 320 10 to 15 seconds but we're going to we're gonna let it cook a little bit longer
than that so the next thing we're going to do is tape off of these Center marks these
are essentially just marked set help me align the graphic nice and straight on to the press
the first thing we're going to do is we are definitely going to do a test print we just
don't want to dive right in we're going to touch things out to make sure we have our temperature
set correctly on our heat press and to make sure we're putting in a coil adhesive down
want to make sure my screen is nice and flooded I'm gonna hold it at a
pretty upright angle and then just give it a nice firm pass
a couple times until the shirt players
we're looking pretty good we have a little bit of a build-up there I'm not sure why I
might have something on my palate yep we've got a little garbage on my palate so now I'm
going to take this over to the heat press and we're going to do some foil so I'm just going
to take my shirt and I'm gonna drape it over here make sure it's nice and centered
making sure it's nice and flat here's our foil you can get this from just about any
screen print vendor I'll leave a link down to the script somewhere you can find this at and
we're just going to cut a sheet the size I'm just gonna kind of measure it out and then
we'll cut our foil and there's a couple ways you can do this I did not slash here this in you can
flash carrots it'll be easier to handle I tend to not like this last year just so I
have all of my adhesive properties they're giving me the best chance that making this
work we're gonna take our foil drape it over our design now we're going to heat press it at
a medium pressure 320 degrees for 15 seconds our design is nice and pressed depending on
what works for you sometimes we'll do a hot peel but I think starting out what I'm going
to do is a cold peel if there are any bubbles or anything like that you can take an eraser
a pencil eraser or you use your finger to make sure it's nice and adhered but since
this is a test print I'm just going to see how it comes out and make my adjustments from there
everything is nice and cool let's go ahead and peel this and see how
it came out the only issue is right here didn't seem to stick all that well and I'm
thinking that's because I just need to put a little bit more pallet tack down
on my press and I think we should be set to go ahead and run this job off
here are the shirts all finished I think they came out quite well it's kind of hard showing
the stuff on on camera there is half tones in this design and I think it's always best
suited to do something simple but our client wanted to try something a little different out
and I think they came out pretty awesome it's hard to kind of really show with the design on
the camera because of the reflective nature of this stuff but that's how we go about decorating
shirts from foil thanks for tuning in I hope this video was helpful be sure to subscribe because we
have vlogs coming up such as our vlog on the Anatol Titan we just received and also we put
out lots of tutorials on how to design screen print business advice all kinds of things so be
sure to hit that subscribe button give this video a thumbs up until next time we'll see you later
