screen printing on spandex nylon polyester mixes can seem like a pretty daunting task but I'm going
to demystify that and show you just how easy it is coming up welcome back if you're new to the
channel be sure to subscribe like this video let's go ahead and dive right into this tutorial shall
we so we have some pretty simple artwork that we're going to print the the shirts are black we
got some spandex pants Lululemon they're pretty expensive let me show you the price here so we
can't mess these up I'm going to print some film real quick expose my screens if you're unfamiliar
with how to expose screens I'm gonna leave a video card here showing you just how to do that so I'm
going to expose these screens real quick and then I'll see you on the press the white ink
that I am using is this will flex Polly Lok here and I just got a quart of it that way I can mix
in some of the special sauce here which is stretch additive this is international coatings I'll leave
the mixing percentage that you need to do what we had to do is on the fly I'm using the same
ink mixed up on the press we got our sleeve pellet on our towel is nice and tacky one of the ways we
go about loading these works so we're printing underneath the logo here and I'm gonna kind of
use this seam right here along this edge of my palate one of the the ways it's kind of tricky
to load this on to the pallets you kind of have to take it and just kind of bunch it up like this
and then we'll just load it on like some stockings wait which they are give myself
about an inch of overhang I just want to make sure that this leading edge here the scene is
on this side and then with this little bit right here I'm just gonna pull it
down and over I want to make sure it's not in my registration gate so we don't end up
chewing this up and then we just want to make sure it's night hunters here because
we're gonna print slash print this so I got my ink loaded up I'm just gonna flood it
and I'm just gonna hit a couple two or three times just to make sure that we
clear the screen there we go it's nice and aligned with the logo now I'm going to roll
my flash over it will flash it because this is a low-key rink again we're using the will flex
top scorer it's gonna flash and about five to six seconds so I want to make
sure nothing's coming up on my finger now at this point we're printing plastic on plastic
so I'm just going to hit it a couple times to make sure it completely clears
again you have to be very careful with something like this to make
sure that this doesn't move make sure your palate is nice and tacky that way
your registration couldn't get out of way and now before I take this off I'm going to flash
all right I think that's flashed enough so I'm gonna take this off
the same way that put it on I'm just gonna kind of roll it down
making sure not to get hung up underneath mine press here and then once we're about this port
down then kind of pull it up a little bit and then we'll pull at the bottom and slide the
whole thing off I'm going to grab it like this and set it on the conveyor dryer just like that
so here's the finished product it's a nice bright whites got a nice soft feel to it and
most importantly stretches without cracking I hope this tutorial was helpful I appreciate you
