I just got ahold of many frames and supplies from a friend. Unfortunately my friend went hitch hiking before I could bombard him with questions.
I plan to make a lot of shirts of the same print. How do you have the image be in the same spot for each shirt? Right now all I have is a desk and the screens. Should I get some sort of clamps? Do you put the shirts around a wooden board? Like how I have seen on the fancy printing presses... I tried to "you tube" this. The images i got were people with the fancy presses, or people only making one shirt.
Any suggestions for a DIY web site?
Thanks ^_^

Re: Hallo, I am new.
Tue, December 2, 2008 - 6:42 PMmy answer to this question is going to go on the assumption that you have hinges for your screen and a base for it (a peice of wood a little bigger than the screen). You will need c-clamps to fasten the base to the desk. also you should get a clamp to keep the screen closed on top of the shirt when your printing. fuck a wooden board, when your trying to do a large run putting each new tshirt on a board is a pain in the ass. go dumpster a shit load of cardboard and cut out 1 square for every shirt you want to make. make sure the square is just big enough to fit the design onto it. place the square into the shirt exactly where you want the design, check the posistioning with your acetate. than tape all excess shirt behind. do this for every shirt so when you get printing you can do it quickly. if your doing more than one color this method will not work for anything other than your first color.
if you have any questions email me at sketchy_malecki1@hotmail.com. i myself am i diy silkscreener. i work with what i have or what i can find or can afford which is very little.
