In today's tutorial I'm going to show you how to screen print wet on wet on
white shirts coming up welcome back if you're new to the channel be sure to
subscribe I've been getting a lot of questions
about how to screen print wet on wet we have an example on press and we're
screen printing on white shirts wet on wet five colors and I'm going to show
you exactly how it works so I'm gonna take my white t-shirt I'm going to load
it up on press and then I'm going to walk you around the press and just show
you exactly how this works okay this is the back of our design which is just a
test t-shirt looks like we have a little bit of ink on it but I think this will
work just fine for the example just keep in mind that this will work the same for
a manual press or an automatic the same concept the only differences with an
automatic you're not having to pull the squeegees yourself and you're going to
get more consistent results alright so we got our colors turned on I'm gonna
start the press begin and then our precedent in a row peg since we're just
doing this one and hit in production so here is our it is a mono blue then we'll
move on to our golden yellow that will be hit a couple times as well keep in
mind there is no so our flash is completely off it's
going to be all wet on wet I'll have anything going on I wanted to keep this
moving training it's close to the front of the president possible I can keep an
eye on this so here's our red going down and you can see on the back of the
screens where the ink is building up what that need to build up and our we
have a royal blue again the ink colors building up on the backside the main
thing to get right is your registration making sure that there's no gaps in
between your colors and with this particular color what we did we put a
little bit of a stroke just on the yellow same thing over here we put a
little bit of a stroke on the yellow and then the rest they don't really but up
but however you still need to make sure your registration is nice and tight and
there's really not a whole lot to wet on wet printing however you do want to use
a higher mesh screen so we are using 230 s all the way around on this job and
we're not using a ton of pressure just enough pressure so that way the ink sits
on top of the garment and doesn't necessarily go through the garment if
you're using a lower mesh such as a 110 or 156 you're going to have more issues
your ink is going to puddle up on the back of your screens and it will make it
that much more difficult so the key here is just consistency and using a higher
mesh such as a 200 195 or in this case a 230 we prefer to 30s and you can see as
I pull this shirt up the ink it's not soaking through the
back I know it's a white shirt and you can see the print on the inside but it's
not completely soaked through again this is just going to depend on your garment
type how much ink actually does end up passing through your t-shirt we're just
taking a real quick look underneath the screens you can see the red built up you
can see the the yellow as well on the last screen you tend to want to do your
darkest colors first however also something else to keep in mind as you
want to use your smaller images first on up to your bigger images but in this
case what I was really doing is registering everything up to this blue
which is over here on station number two but it's the first color that goes down
and then we're doing our yellow some of the issues that can come up doing it
this method is this blue can come up into your yellow however we did not have
that happen in this particular situation so we just move forward with the order
we did about 84 shirts and everything came out great if you're interested in
learning how to screen print wet on wet on dark garments with the white base be
sure to check out our video here or sit here it's one of these two locations
I'll leave a link there where we have many examples but I will also do a
tutorial on how to print wet on wet on top of white base for color or dark
