I'm going to show you how to screen print a left chest print on some zipper
hoodies on the for color manual coming up
what is up everybody welcome back to the channel I'm gonna show you how to screen
print a four color lift chest print on some zipper hoodies let's go ahead and
dive right into this tutorial all right so here's our set up we got the single
station for color press going along with our flash dryer and we're using that and
I'll show you here in a moment how we're doing this but we basically have a white
base a golden yellow we have a black and then a highlight
white I am printing a couple of these colors wet-on-wet just to speed the
process up here are the hoodies that are complete and here are the hoodies that I
am working on there are some underneath this that already do have a front print
but because we don't have the proper squeegees for our automatic we tend to
do these smaller jobs over here on the manual something you will need in order
to print on hoodies is some web spray I'll leave a link down in the
description where you can grab some of this but any web spray will do and a lot
of screen printing vendors carry it so you'll definitely need that so that way
it will grab the fibers of that video alright our conveyor dryer is ready to
go our flash is ready to go as well now I'm gonna take a little bit of this 3m
high-strength 19 it's a web spray and I'm just gonna spray just a little bit
just enough to grab the hoodie you're gonna have to do this between each
hoodie because it will just grab those fibers and leave it on your board
our printing on royal blue as well as a gold hoodie and I'm just gonna slide
this down pull down my zipper to the top because I have my working set towards
where it's about three fingers down part of the hoodie down this is a little bit
out of the registration gate so the first color and I am gonna say that I am
working with all 2:30 mesh screens yes it will work and make for a really
bright white and I'm gonna show you just how well this works but I'm just gonna
go ahead and plug my image and I'm using a fairly upright angle with my squeegee
and I'm just gonna hit it enough times towards where it clears my mesh you do
that one more time
so that looks pretty good for our white bass so now let's go ahead and slash
this I'm gonna roll my slash over and I'm gonna let it sit for about eight
seconds and we don't one of the things you want to be careful not to do is to
the over flash it especially with hoodies because they they do have some
more thickness to them so I'm just gonna touch it make sure it's nice and flash
which it is as you can see here the knit is filled quite nicely it doesn't have
that marbled look but that is pretty standard for doing a white bass so now
the next thing I'm going to do is I am going to print my golden yellow I'm
gonna flood the screen this time I'm going to do a full print and I'm just
putting enough pressure towards where the squeeze you blade just kind of
flexes a little bit and it's using the edge so I'm just gonna go ahead and hit
that once so there we are there's our yellow and I'm gonna go ahead and flash
this for about another eight seconds and then I'll give you a close-up
all right so here is how the artwork is looking thus far you can see that I do
have a little bit of a spread here but we are going to trap all this with some
black and then we are gonna do our white over brown all right so these next
couple of colors what I'm going to do is I'm going to print them wet on wet it's
gonna be a full print for the rest of them and the reason I'm doing a full
print is just the fact that this presence does not have micro
registrations generally I would do a push print with them all but everything
just tend to line up really well with a pull print and the reason I'm saying
that is is because the it was just a little off down so towards the bottom of
the image so if you do run into that everything else is looking good instead
of doing a push print you do pull print or vice versa
so I'm just gonna hit this once maybe a couple times just so I can clear my
screen so there's our black print that is
trapping everything and now I'm going to do my white over print full print as
well
and there we go I'm gonna give you guys a close-up of risk and here we are with
the blue hoodies in two different you guys can see it's got a nice print
there's not a whole lot of fibrillation going on you can see some of these
details down here where the actual white outline around jaguars which is pretty
faint but came out pretty awesome let me know what you guys think down on the
comments all right so I'm gonna go ahead and pull this up put it in the conveyor
dryer and then I'm going to show a few more examples
now this time around we are going to go to speed just gonna miss it lightly and
don't worry about just drying up completely because it's just gonna stick
to the pallet and not to the inside of your your hoodie and I'll show you what
I'm talking about here in a moment but let's go ahead and do this so I'm gonna
go ahead and flash this and while I'm flashing this you either go ahead and
grab this one that's coming out but looking Bayer dryer stick it in my file
I'm gonna come back over here move my flash let you guys back down
now we're going to do our yellow
this should just work with one hit I'm gonna flash that again
again I'm doing this for about eight seconds now I'm going to do my black and
then my wife
there we go we got another great-looking print I'm gonna pull this up
got it toss on the conveyor dryer put a little more tack down
now this time around I am going to do a golden yellow hoodie
there goes CNN on the phone soon in the shop known I'm gonna go ahead and slide
it up in a couple two or three times that looks great
I'm gonna pull my flash over while this is flashing this other hoodie will come
out but I'm just going to focus on this at the moment I'll let the catch spin
and grab that now I'm going to do my golden yellow
I'm going to flash that
now I'm going to take my black again we're gonna do these wet-on-wet using
all 2:30 mesh screens this is flat saw ink I'm using an assortment of will flex
epic amazing bright white and just some GSG house brand stuff basically what I
look for is affordable quality each
alright close through this last example this is the last of the front prints I
got to do for this order
all right fairly upright position if it hit this a couple two or three times
that is our white bass 2:30 mesh will select epic amazing bright white okay so
that's about eight seconds gonna check it we're all good now I'm going to do my
golden yellow gold fret 230 mess going to go ahead and slice that
and then we're going to do our last three colors
wet-on-wet
and I'm trying not to hit Shannon in the face so she's walking around the shop
all right so I'm going to pull this up and then I'll show you guys the the
results of these prints
all right here are the results of the prints we just did on these hoodies as
you guys can see you can see the the texture of the actual hoodie there's not
a lot of fibrillation going on and because I was using a 230 mesh it does
have a nice soft hand and it's not just a huge piece of plastic on there and as
you can see here here is where our print is and there's there's no heavy spray
tacks underneath it you can see where it's pulled up the police from the
garment just a little bit but something I thought I would add is if you do want
to print on zipper hoodies and you want to do a full front you will need a
palette with a little in sets that way that zipper can sit down into it
otherwise you're kind of limited to just a left chest or a right chest print or
you can also do left and right but you will need a squeegee with the middle
that cut out that way you won't be printing on top of that zipper and
tearing your screens up you know I mean something like this you're gonna just
kind of cut out maybe two and a half inches three inches thanks for tuning in
