How to Screen Print Halftones "Step By Step"

I don’t have a good computer to do all this, I’m so able to go to a print shop where they get my image to transparent it ?

That was great, I used to do silkscreen print at college but that was a long time ago, this is very inspiring and doing stuff on the floor reminds me of how Warhol did his prints.

Where did you get this image of Ali or any image? Did you have to pay for rights to print and sell? Love the content btw!

Where do you get the cotton sheets you sample print on?

so you only need one screen to do gray scale? i wanna start printing and dont know anything

❤ Thanks for the tips on screen printing grayscale images. I’m trying to do a simple art print from a photo and this should be my next steps after mastering the basics and getting my right in photoshop

Good tutorial, great vid, I tried on a black shirt and it came out like x-ray, could you please tell us why and how to fix . Thank You.

where do you buy yout t shirts from?

When you bitmap the the image become transparent or do you have to save it without a back drop

I was under the assumption you had to use multiple screens for halftones?

What materials for test ? Paper ?

It's great. I saw it in the end. What brand of this machine is and how to get it?

Hey man love the content. Was wondering if you can get good quality from water based prints abd do they air dry effectively?? Many thanks 🙏

Is there a way to do this with full color using procreate?

Where do you get your blanks from?

How does one do this legally? Getting copyright permissions and etc. to print a celebrity. Any info would help!

i just past by. is this your place too? fucking nice

What if i cant send the picture to any shop to be burned? How i do it myself?

Finally I’m about to take my Screenprinting next level … Great video 🫡

I made a t-shirt years back with a celebrity's face on it, I was advised not to sell it as it could be copyright. I'm curious are you legally allowed to use celebrities faces on tees

Thank you for the great video

Good video

awesome

This is terrific. Thank you!!

when we flatten the layer it merges and how will we get rid of the white background?

Hello! How long should I leave an image like the one with the boxer to burn in a UV lamp?? Please any help

Great video! love the studio too! Tons of natural light!

junk

Wat app u use on ya computer

I’m glad you showed it in this manner. A lot of people will just show you the file set up but rarely the physical output. Prints came out great 🤙🏼

LOVED THIS!
I also had a go at screenprinting in my youth. It might be worth a read...

When I came out of the army in the mid 1970s, I got a job in Quality Control in a factory canning Coca Cola. I'd previously been to art college and, being good at drawing, I tended to show off with it and word got around. I was asked to design a logo for the local fishing club, which I did and they liked.
Now here comes the fun bit:
The club "invested" in 23 white tee shirts and asked if I would draw the logo on each of the tee shirts WITH A SHARPIE. I pointed out that (a) no I freakin well couldn't and (b) even if I could, it would be cheaper to have them professionally printed. "Ah no..." came the response. "We spent all the petty cash on the tee shirts. We were kinda hoping you'd do it for nothing... it IS local after all..." (now, if anyone from the Yorkley & District Angling Club based in the Forest of Dean, UK happens to be reading this, here's a bit of the club's history I bet you weren't told about...).
You know the old formulaic movie plot... small town guy gets confronted with a challenge and, against all odds manages to turn the challenges to his advantage and builds up a multinational enterprise... WELL THIS WASN'T ANYTHING LIKE THAT!
I had only briefly touched upon screenprinting before I dropped out of college to join the army. Back in the '60s, art training still included the very basics to begin with. In terms of screenprinting, this meant stretching a wooden frame with cotton organza and making our own photo-emulsion with gelatin and and sodium dichromate, a pretty orange (and highly toxic) crystalline chemical that remained soluble in water until exposed to light. I'd got as far as making a screen, coating it with the emulsion, exposing it and washing it out before I decided to pop into the Army Recruitment Center. I'd never taken a print from my screen.
Fast forward to 1974, first Mortgage, new baby and I've decided to give this hare-brained scheme a go. Okay, I couldn't remember the name of the screen fabric so I experimented with my wife's nylon tights (as a screen fabric, not as a fashion statement). I probably don't need to describe how well that went. "Why don't you get a book on it?" my wife, Anne suggested. "No. I can figure this out!" I insisted. Anyway, I had to pay for the book I got from the library because I spilled sodium dichromate on it but, at least, I was using the right fabric (well, cotton organza). I was already accustomed to stretching canvases so that part wasn't a problem, I had the emulsion so the rest would obviously be plain sailing. What could possibly go wrong?
Quite a lot as it happened.
The book was written in 1943 and serigraphy was still in its infancy... I'm also guessing that window cleaning squeegees (recommended by the book) were a lot more robust then. An old floor squeegee from the factory and cut down to fit the screen did the job.
Finally, the moment had come! After weeks of trial and error... (even more error than I've described here), I was finally ready to pull my first print (on paper, of course). You know that magical moment when you can't even see the unstained emulsion on the virgin screen and you pull a squeegee for the first time and see your design magically appear behind the squeegee. I was hooked at that point... for a while.
The name of the Factory was Carters so there was "Carters' Cowboys" skittle team which was the first gig to actually turn a profit and a number of small local interest designs that ticked over well and, by the end of 1975, I was setting my sights on bigger fish... the Queen's 1977 Silver Jubilee. I started stock-piling tee shirts and, although the 'official' design had not yet been announced, I had designed my own unofficial design requiring only two screens (red & blue). It was not exactly kosher but, as I wasn't infringing the official design, it wasn't strictly illegal either. I was amazed at how quickly the shirts were selling and 1976 wasn't even over yet. I had two major points in my favour: I was local to the Forest of Dean Which covered a fairly large area of several villages a large market town (Coleford) and two other large towns (Cinderford & Lydney). The other advantage was that Forest of Dean folk are passionately supportive of their own and mercilessly critical of anyone from outside the area. I had a massive captive market. The official Jubilee design, though more intricate and decorative than mine, didn't get a look-in.
Word got around and, as I did my rounds collecting samples around the factory (remember the factory?) for testing, I was also collecting orders and delivering shirts that were done. I seemed to be selling exclusively to people working at the factory. I didn't realise the factory had so many staff but who's counting? Well, I wasn't for sure.
We had made a lot of cash by May 1977. Street parties were planned in the Forest of Dean for June 6th. Our stock was running low so I decided to blow the lot on bulk purchasing tee shirts and screen ink. We booked a large stall to sell all our tee shirts. Each shirt had to be printed, dried and ironed for 3 minutes each to fix the dye... and there were a LOT of shirts.
At last, the day arrived. Us stall holders were there by 5:00am to set up and lay out stock. I was gratified to see that I was the only one selling tee shirts. It was so well attended. People turned up by the hundreds... virtually all of them already wearing one of my tee shirts. I had saturated my own market! I sold 3 tee shirts on the day.

I finally used the last of our 'silver jubilee' dusters polishing cloths and paint rags in September 1992. I kind of went off it after that.

Instant THANK YOU! Exactly I looked for.

This was a dope explanation thank you

How thick is the fabric?

How do u make sure that the print is in the same position on all t shirts?

to me its the fact you throwing down the latter for us is so tough .. you will always win !!

I just started doing screen printing myself and after watching a few videos i realized i live DOWN THE STREET from your store! how cool! thanks for all the knowledge

Can anyone tell me if doing this method of printing with the t-shirt on the ground works well with white ink on a black t-shirt?

🤙
