Working with a small workspace.

This is the place to talk about what it takes to get started. This would include what equipment to buy, space requirements, electrical needs and anything related to getting ready to begin screen printing. Have a question regarding what it takes to screen print tee shirts? Please post them here...

Working with a small workspace.

Post by JimRainsford »

Hey John,
I have just started up in the screen printing world and I have a very basic set-up. I have everything sorted apart from the printing table itself.
Anyway, I was just wondering what is the best ink to start off with (Bearing in mind I have limited space and a basic set-up). I want to start printing T-Shirt but I don't have much room to do it in.
I have been considering the Discharge method with Soft Scrub as this will not take up much room and I would only need one tab (Or whatever the cool word for it is) on the printing table.
What would you recommend is the best way forward for me.
I can post up some pictures of my work space if that would be helpful.

Kind Regards,
Jim The Printing Noob :)

Hmmm Sorry, Reading that back, Its a bit all over the place.
Lemme start again.

Basicly I'm wondering if there is a way to print without a printing press as I don't have much room, or is there a smaller version of a product like this?
Thats better worded ;) haha

Kind Regards
Jim :)

Actually we are no longer representing that screen printing vendor. So for plastisol inks I would recommend Excalibur inks:

http://www.catspitproductionsllc.com/in ... plies.html

Or Triangle inks:

http://www.catspitproductionsllc.com/sc ... plies.html

You can get both brands of ink using the appropriate Catspit discount code for each of the vendors above. And using my discount codes helps support the continued production of free screen printing material online by Catspit Productions. I appreciate your support grealty. :D
