Acabo de comprar una impresora Pantum P2500 W Series para serigrafía. En la tienda probé que imprimiera bien en papel cebolla y dio bien, pero cuando llegué a mi casa y imprimí lo que tenía con X como guías en el dibujo, me doy cuenta de que las X nunca concuerdan. ¿Alguien sabe cómo arreglar esto o es imposible?
Necesito ayuda porfavor
My question is really how do they generate shading in images like the example?
Should I make a gray color separation?

I've left the remover more than 5 minutes because It wasn't cleaning the screen and had to brush more than 30 minutes and still haven't cleaned all there's at least 10% remaining... Don't know what to do (it's gel remover btw) any tip? I'm new on this, thanks
I work with water-based ink. I'm planning to start working with plastisol. I've heard that if you only have a screen printing table with thermal beds, you don't need a flash cure unit. Can someone tell me what temperature the screen printing table with thermal beds reaches and if it's better to use a screen printing table with thermal beds or a flash cure unit?
Is there a web page where I can get high quality designs to print my own tshirts? I see that a lot of shops ha e the same designs and I was wondering if there are web pages where they get them from!
Thank you!
So I have already some stuff that I can use to do serigraphy but don’t know where to start. What I found the most difficult is about preparing the canvases, what chemicals do I need, how to treat them and how to put mi image by color and center them. Do you have any online course, a really good and detailed one?
I know it's best to store unframed prints flat for long-term storage but does anyone know if/when screenprints on paper may become compromised if stored in a tube? I purchased some prints that I may not be in a position to unroll and store safely in advance of an upcoming move when they may need to go into storage in tubes. I'm sure there are a lot of variables but I'm trying to gauge how safe they're likely to be in weeks vs. months vs. years. Thanks.
I need help. I'm trying to stamp on some coat wool fabric with ink for textile. The stamping part is going great and the desing is clear and weel done. My problem is when I washed or rub the fabric my desing is disapearing. How can I make it durable to washing?
Thanks to any help
Hi, I'm trying with photo emulsion from speedball/diazo. From the very beginning I noticed something weird, when I mixed the sensitizer with cold water and then poured into the emulsion, it never completely dissolved. It had like small dark dots even though I mixed for more than 30 minutes straight.
Nonetheless I was positive and used the mixture 3 days after (and tried to dissolve the dots by mixing again for 30 minutes, but didn't work). Just to complete the process I used it on a screen and let it dry.
Now it's completely dry and placed the screen under UV light. How long do you let it there? I read it should be around 15 minutes but I doubt it.
Any piece of advice will be deeply appreciated.
So I’m going to buy a serigraphy kit and I wanted to do both posters and t-shirts with my own designs but the inks say for textiles only and every time I try searching for inks specifically for paper prints or straight up look for an answer to this question I just get the “turn your acrylic paints into clothing dye” response
Hi everyone, I'm gonna be starting to do some serigraphy by myself to customise my clothing and I'm doing my research to gather many information as possible, do you have any recommendations on screen printin inks?, Should I begin with water base?, Any tips and tricks?. Any response will be gladly welcome
