need help.... inks and consumables

Post by omaho »

I need HELP! I'm venturing into screen printing ( T-shirts ) and I don't know where to start :(
I have all the machines ( 8 station manual chest printing machine, flash curer, electric curing machine etc ) and raw materials (T-shirts and inks) ready but I don't know what to do with them....I know this sounds really stupid :(
I understand the concept of screen printing and the use of the machines but... I don't have any idea about the inks and chemicals.

Let me just give u a list of the inks and chemicals I got -
[Please tell me how to use the]
*different colors of PLASTISOL inks ( Rutlan)
*PHOTO EMULSION -polymer type (photocure TXR)
*PRIMER CLEAR
*DULLING PASTE
*VISCOSITY REDUCER
*WB SOFT CLEAR BASE
*H2 HO WHITE
*H2 SPENDESOL CLEAR
*HARDENER A / HARDENER DL
*MH COTTON WHITE
*T-75 TRANSFER SHEET

I would appreciate your help....
M desperate!

Hi,
Well it's been a long time since I posted on here.

Anyway on to my problem. I want to get some designs I've done printed, the design are pretty simple block colours and shapes, Xara Xtreme 5 is brilliant for doing these designs. However the T-Shirt printers (spreadshirt) want to files a vectors graphics.
This is what they say on the site
