3 color Screen Print | screen printing multi color registration

Printing with water based ink, A real pain but I haven't given up yet. Still gotta work out some of the kinks,

This video was so helpful....we have been struggling with our damn screens clogging on a 3 color set up. And hearing everyone using an air compressor gun to remove debris was a great tip. Thanks! We love The Print Life, over here in Oregon at Sister Screening. 🖤

I just found your channel. Your design and the amount of work this took was insane.

Cam: I took a cheap Harbor Freight leaf blower, ditched the long nozzle part and made a mount so that it mounts to the wall about 5' off the ground blowing horizontally away from the wall. After I'm done with a screen in the washout booth I wipe down the frame with a towell and then blow the screen with the leaf blower. The screen will be 90 percent dry within seconds, the only downside is that it's noisy.

This is all great info. I've been having trouble with residue in my screens and now I can experiment with all the different solutions you guys have suggested.

I had good luck taking some reclaimer on a rag and dabbing it on the problem area then spraying it out again worked great.

Gotta be honest Cam, I like the changes you made to your format. The little green screen work, and the voice overs make me laugh quite a bit. It's nice to see the little quirks that come up. Thanks for putting it up, really dig the design too.

plastisol + wb - i never thought it's possible. thank you very much

Props for dealing with these frustrations way better than I do.

thanks man your video was very educational. I have a apparel company and im looking to start screen printing myself

Get an in-line filter for your air compressor also Drain the tank once a week or so! Idk who really said that because if that was the case you wouldn’t have to use air tool oil for your pneumatic tools lol my air Compressor is my best friend never had an issue! Glad to see the videos back at it dude! Most entertaining screen printing Chanel 😂

Hey Cam!! I don’t really have any hard water issues in Portland, our water is pretty soft but I rinse the hell outta my screens after degreasing and kinda spin it around to shake off any excess water better laying flat to dry. On press, I am constantly misting the flooded screens so they don’t dry up. Sometimes I’ll print on a dummy shirt to clear it mid run if needed. Awesome video, bad ass print! 🤘🏼

Thank you so much!!!! This was very helpful

Agree with using the reg system, I use my tri lock for everything, means I don’t have to move boards around constantly and the print is always in the right place.

All i want for christmas is to go to Arizona and shadow cam for a week! Im 100% self taught through this channel. So THANK YOU 💜

Awesome personality and content!

Cam: I use a small harbor freight air compressor to blow off most of the screen and then I have a regular fan in the dry room while the screen lays horizontal. Love your site and all the tips you share with us...gag reflex...I share your pain.

Great Design and Screenprint. 👍 That's alot of squeegee work. Definitely should try to get an automatic screen printer. Big Bucks.

Great vlog Cam..!! To keep debris out of clean screens after reclaiming and degreasing I box them. This sounds crazy maybe but in an effort to have top quality stencils I do not coat them until the day before the job when possible and try not to keep emulsion that has not been exposed on screens more than a few days - after they dry overnight I rebox them (and feel the cardboard helps absorb even more moisture because here in South Florida we have high humidity). It's been working great BUT you have to really be on top of your management game. Funny thing is if your not and you coat right away you still end up not having a screen when you need it. This forces the issue and decreases waste. For the humidity issue in Phoenix I may be talking out my butt because I haven't tried it but a million years ago I was into aquariums and terrariums. In the pet trade they used to have automatic terrarium misters/sprayers that were programmable (both in volume and in how often they spray).. They were inexpensive. I'm sure they are much more advanced now. I think I would try that and a hygrometer to measure humidity and try and get a good balance - the smaller the area and the less moving air the easier it would be to control but at the very least make sure the shop door is down. Maybe you could maintain a workable balance? Anyway just a thought for what it's worth..

Thank you very much am learning a lot from your channel
