Takeaways

  • πŸ˜€ Emulsion (Obat Afdruk) is essential for screen printing, with Bremont being recommended for beginners due to its ease of use.
  • πŸ˜€ Beginners should opt for Plastisol ink and basic pigments (e.g., yellow, red, blue) for creating designs.
  • πŸ˜€ It is advised to have at least three squeegees (rakels) in sizes 10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm for flexibility in design.
  • πŸ˜€ Adhesive (Lem Meja) is used to secure the screen to the table, while reducers are necessary to thin the ink.
  • πŸ˜€ Wooden screens (40x60 mesh, 77T) are ideal for beginners, while aluminum screens are better suited for more advanced users.
  • πŸ˜€ A heat press machine is essential to cure or set the ink on the t-shirt, and models with adjustable temperature are recommended.
  • πŸ˜€ For beginners, a portable or Thailand-style printing table is sufficient for starting out in screen printing.
  • πŸ˜€ It's important to use high-quality emulsion and screen printing supplies to ensure better print results and longer equipment life.

  • πŸ˜€ Having multiple screens allows for more efficient workflow, especially when working with multi-color designs.

Q & A

  • What is emulsion and why is it important in screen printing?

    -Emulsion is a light-sensitive liquid used to create stencils on the screen. It is essential because it allows the design to be transferred onto the mesh screen, which will then be used to print onto fabric. The correct emulsion ensures good design quality and durability.

  • Which type of emulsion is recommended for beginners?

    -For beginners, Bremont emulsion is recommended. It is easier to use compared to other types, such as Pertasol TX, which can be more difficult for newcomers.

  • What types of inks are commonly used in screen printing?

    -The most commonly used inks in screen printing are Plastisol inks, which are popular for their durability and ease of use. For rubber-based prints, Matsui White Rubber Ink is also commonly used.

  • How do pigments play a role in screen printing?

    -Pigments are used to mix with the base ink (such as Plastisol) to create different colors. The pigments come in various colors, such as yellow, red, blue, and green, which can be combined to achieve a wide range of hues.

  • What is the purpose of a squeegee (rakel) in screen printing?

    -The squeegee is used to push ink through the mesh screen onto the fabric. It ensures the ink is evenly distributed and transferred accurately to the material. Different sizes (10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm) are used depending on the size of the design.

  • What is the difference between a rectangular and a square squeegee?

    -A rectangular squeegee is typically used for larger designs and provides a smoother ink flow. A square squeegee is easier to handle, making it more suitable for beginners, especially when working with small designs.

  • What is the function of adhesive and reducer in the screen printing process?

    -Adhesive is used to secure the fabric or item being printed to the table, preventing it from moving during printing. Reducer is used to thin the ink, especially rubber inks, to adjust its consistency for better flow and application.

  • What type of screen mesh is ideal for printing on t-shirts?

    -For printing on t-shirts, a screen mesh of **4060** is recommended. This mesh size is fine enough to capture the details of the design while still allowing enough ink to flow through.

  • Why is it important to use wooden frames for screens, especially for beginners?

    -Wooden frames are recommended for beginners because they are more affordable and easier to repair compared to aluminum frames. If the screen gets damaged, wooden frames are easier to fix without costly servicing.

  • What is the function of the heat press machine in screen printing?

    -The heat press machine is used to cure the printed ink, ensuring that the design is set properly and will not fade or wash out easily. It applies heat to the printed fabric, which is essential for the longevity of the print.

  • Can a beginner start with a portable or Thailand table for screen printing?

    -Yes, a beginner can start with a portable or Thailand table. These tables are more affordable and provide enough stability for smaller operations. A Thailand table with three panels is recommended for better accuracy and ease of use.
