Best screenprinting tutorial ever. This is the best screenprinting tutorial that I found to teach myself how to do it. It's really easy and fun to do. I have a 4-color process printer sitting right beside me. :smile:

forgot to come back and say...

The third panel... of course,

With the caption :
"The third day, the creation of plants..."

Yeah, don't forget to "set" the ink or whatever you use.  I bought some kind of extender for the regular inks and mixed it with acrylic paint to make cheaper printing inks, cuz i had buckets of acrylic...it worked fine and the ink has been through tons of wahses.
I have done the homemade route from start to finish with three colors - i used three identical sized frames and used dots in the corners for registration.  It was somewhat ghetto, but the design took that into account :smile:
Yeah, this is a good thread, and, as someone has pointed out, you could just buy the paper to print iron-on stuff, but printing is WAY more fun.....

Did you guys know you can dye cloth with mushrooms?  And if you can extract a permanent dye from mushrooms, couldn't you get it concentrated enough to suspend in a clear extender to use as an ink?

Any thoughts?  I have wanted to do this for a couple of years, and i was wondering if anyone had...
peace

Yeah, you can look at www.overstock.com for deals on some nice shirts. I have ran across some damn good deals on Fruit of the Loom Beefy T's. Those are some nice and sturdy t-shirts, too!

I don't know much about silkscreening... but I just buy blank stencils and whip out an Xacto knife.... draw my design, lay the trasparent stencil thing over it, trace, then use fabric paint and a sponge roller. I like that faded, worn texture and the roller sponger works best for that texture.

here's what I did to a boring dress shirt:


for the eyes/nose in the smaller skulls I just laid down my stencil, cut out the circle in masking tape, stuck them on the shirt, then rolled the paint on.

after I did the stencil I just splattered paint.

I have an airbrush kit too, so I could do my own graffiti or whatever. still learning airbrushing though

What's the best thing to make stencils out of? This has giving me some good ideas.. I am planning a blue green and teal aqua tye dye, and I would love to custom lay some prints over the already dyed shirt, some more colors... reds and oranges, greens and purple.
Worth the time IMO.

At any craft store or art supplies store in the stencils section the have just blank sheets of that plastic stuff for you to make your own stencils from.

shit they might even be at walmart, I never looked there though

Also, I think a print on top of tye dye is too busy

So let me get this straight... first you have to 'burn' the fabric, so that it will hold the paint. Then with an 8xx or 10xx screen you apply the paint to the burn and it only sticks on the pre-set pattern and not the rest of the fabric??

I thought that you just made a stencil and then applied the paint to the shirt. Don't they make special paint for fabrics that will hold up to washing?

You don't have to have an expensive set up to do silk screening at all! You've gotten some good help here already, so I won't elaborate too much, but I used to use just a basic frame and some Speedball ink (and I used wax paper for the stencil due to lack of better supplies). It was a lot of fun!

I am going to my friends class today, to work on the computers. So i can scan and print up my patterns on acetate. This week I am going to get some sheer fabric, and frames. The school will let me use their photo emulsion. They got a 4 station print machine, and a lab for all the cleaning and developing. I should get ready!

Here's the new one.

Part 2-Applying a Photographic Emulsion to Homemade Silk Screens

Part 3-Silk Screen Printing with Multiple Colors

Also, the iron on images don't last for very long before they fade away.
