Starting from Scratch
Posted: Wed Sep 14, 2016 8:16 am
Hello all, Hello Jonathan,
Firstly many thanks for your videos, they are a joy and an inspiration! I am starting my printing career at a ripe old age(not going to say here!!) and found your knowledge and enthusiasm for screen printing very infectious.
I have been doing some promotional printing for some time, caps, tee, mugs with a printer, plotter, vinyl and heat press but felt that to be taken seriously you need screen printing in your armoury. I have been doing my preliminary research and I have been looking at introductory deals and found this in the UK and wanted the experts here on the forum to evaluate.

BTW, I do not work for these people or have any vested interest in their company, I just found them to be reasonably helpful.
It seems there is no screen drying unit and wondered if there was a necessity for a screen drying unit or can they just air dry in a rack? I do not think at this stage that I will be doing huge amounts to require a belt garment dryer and I'll probably go with a Plastisol Ink solution.
As an addition I will be making my own films for which I have earmarked the Epson 1500w for the exercise.
I would welcome any help and comments from the "knowledge" on here!
Many Thanks
Butch
