'''14:58:39 william.stillwell''' Jeremiah, all the information is on Merchmaker's youtube channel.

'''13:59:49 william.stillwell''' [https://merchmakr.com/blogs/learn https://merchmakr.com/blogs/learn]

'''14:00:08 william.stillwell''' I can show you how, but you need to get the art printed ( we do not have a printer that can print the art )

'''14:00:51 william.stillwell''' if you order a pre-done screen, i can show you how to use the equipment at the space, but we have limited colors of plastisol. ( i think just white, red, and black )

'''14:01:20 william.stillwell''' if we can get a large enough group of people, Gary will come over and do a class, he is just on benjamin north of the space

'''14:21:57 bill.shaw''' are there any materials we would need to purchase for such a class? Any other requirements?

'''14:22:00 william.stillwell''' and if we are going to burn screens, we would have to buy a screen for each person as i don't think he would want dirty new ones

'''14:27:01 bill.shaw''' Have you made screens before?

'''14:27:22 william.stillwell''' Yes :slightly_smiling_face: I have probably made 5-10 different shirts with the kit. i just suck at art :disappointed:

'''14:28:03 bill.shaw''' what software did you use for the artwork?

'''14:28:10 william.stillwell''' if someone can make some cool vector art for the space, i can print and make some screens

'''14:28:15 william.stillwell''' Illustrator

'''14:28:19 bill.shaw''' I was thinking THS logo [:thumbsup_all:1]

'''14:28:20 william.stillwell''' just needs to be vector art

'''14:28:33 dndphstudio''' do the screens use that plastic that you expose to light and then dissolve with water?

'''14:29:19 william.stillwell''' no, we use actual screens that we expose to light to harden, and then need a special liquid and pressure washer to clean.

'''14:30:04 scottboake''' I have some misc screen printing parts and supplies. May still have some silk screen. Have pressure washer for space donation that needs a plug.

'''14:30:19 dndphstudio''' that's what i meant, you put like a gel on the screen, put a mask over it, harden it with the light, wash the unhardened material off, and then print with? I remember doing that way back in middle school

'''14:31:07 william.stillwell''' litterly, EVERY step is on the website.

'''14:31:54 william.stillwell''' However, one exception is i used Green Galaxy CryoCoat Emulsion as it has a LOT longer shelf life.

'''14:32:18 william.stillwell''' The stuff he sells only has a < 3 month shelf life as its bacterium based.

'''14:33:02 roontoon''' Have seen it done with vinyl used as the stencil.

'''14:33:07 william.stillwell''' I have not tried "Ryonet WBP Dual Cure Water Based Plastisol Hybrid Emulsion"

'''14:33:40 william.stillwell''' Yes, you can use a vinyl stencil, but it can leave glue residue on the screen.

'''14:34:06 william.stillwell''' the benifits on using a vinyl stencil is its great for just "letters"

'''14:34:36 william.stillwell''' good luck if you have a fancy artwork with halftones, weeding vinyl to stick on a screen could be hell.

'''14:40:44 scottboake''' I’ve done the individual letters for signs. Hard to make look even decent. Cutting ruby transparencies by hand takes more skill than I have. Ink jet transparencies work ok.

'''14:53:16 william.stillwell''' basically, we use screen printing transparency from an "all black" inkjet printer.

'''14:53:32 william.stillwell''' i have a 11x17 inkjet i can print the transparency's on.

'''15:06:54 scottboake''' Thumbs up on the 11x17 - pasting smaller sheets works but ugh.

'''15:19:41 roontoon''' Use to use rubylith back it the day.

'''15:21:59 scottboake''' Had a 6 color T-shirt made once. Guy who did the artwork cut the ruby. That cost more than the art for 6 layers. And
took much longer.
