ok, I've been screening veneer in the flat before pressing the decks; using nazdar 59000. I pretty much taught myself and have it down pretty good now.
Now I want to try t-shirts, I have some questions;
!. What series of nazdar ink?
2. Do you need a barrier material inside the shirt to prevent bleed thru onto the backside?
3. How much "gap" between the screen and shirt?
4. How to prevent the shirt from sticking to the screen? Is there a hold down method?
Any info will help. Thanks.....3.2.1. |

This is a basic example of what is used for printing shirts.
I dont use nazdar for shirts but you can search by substrate or application on their website www.sourceoneonline.com . Other companies such as Union Ink or International Coatings are pretty popular in the textiles world.
the platen which you slide the shirt onto is your "barrier" and the shirt is held down with spray adheasive.
an 1/8 of an inch is pretty standard for off contact, more off contact leads to more ink being laid down but it can get messy if you go too far.
Something like the picture above can be pretty simple to build with just some "JIFFY Hinges" and something to form a platen.
good luck |

just a suggestion...
if you add some tarp straps
 to the back of your press you wouldn't have to worry about having that little arm there to hold up your screen when you aren't screening.
springs (about the size of the ones on a trampoline) work well too. |

well I built another one...I love this shit!
The arms are help in the up position by strong magnets.
The pallets will slide in and out and lock into position.
