Screen Printing Tee Shirts: Basic Test Print Set Up Production Tips

Here’s another educational screen printing video about doing a test print and setting up on press. This video runs down the set up process with practical tips on getting your test printing done. As usual this video is candid and we run into a minor snafu with one of the test shirts giving you even more real world experience with handling your blank garments. You should pick up several great tips about screen printing textiles as you follow along with doing an actual test print for a shirt printing run. This video will also review things like the sweet spot, how to use spray tacks, left chest positioning, doing a weathered effect, taping off screens, and much more. Hear my thoughts on how any dye migration might affect the thinly printed distressed effect as well. This is a great practical experience video for anyone just starting out in screen printing for fun or for profit. Did you just start working at a screenprinting shop? Yes, this video will help you. Enjoy!
