Hi Raven, eas it as EZ at they claim it to be? Did you do more than one of each design? if so do you need to clean the screen before each shirt?
Nice designs you have made.
It does seem to be as simple as they say - I exposed these images with natural sunlight from pics printed on standard computer paper (I didn't have any transparencies on hand) and must say it worked perfectly.
I've done 3 from the same stencil but TBH I wasn't using ink I was using acrylic paint and that does tend to dry quickly. Not a major problem but I'd not want to do more that 3 with it. When I've got these dried I'm going to try a longer run using the versatex ink (I only have the 1 colour ink but lots of different acrylics) and see how it does. I didn't have to wash the screen between each one. Runs on Mead is with the Pearl metallic ink, WWLD is with bronze acrylic
One thing I would say is be prepared to let the screen dry out thouroughly between washing the ink out and doing another print run. The stencil material softens up a fair bit in water and becomes tacky.
I've printed off a run of 3 with the new stencil too but my cam is useless at night so no pics till tomorrow! One good thing about acrylics - they print well on darks
Well, there's no frame so registration will be a bit of a problem, but I'm working on it ezscreenprint do a frame you can tape the screen to, I'm thinking of using that and adapting it to make a mini carousel, might take a while though!
Good to know that your EZ can work out for you. However, I've heard tons of the bad experience from our new customer who want to get into screen printing for business. I saw that system in person in the ISS show, and I think if you want to print your shirt as a hobby, that's ok, but if you want to use it for your business, I would think twice before I use it.
The problems with a full screenprinting setup for me are twofold - cost and space. I have very little of each! PhotoEZ is cheaper in the short term for single colour prints due to lower setup costs. It is also possible to use in a small space whereas a printing carousel takes up quite a bit of space.
I'm very happy with the results so far, and with luck I'll be able to get started with this.
I think I might wait until I get a new squeegee - I'm using the worlds smallest squeegee right now (it's about 2-3" wide lol) and takes much longer like that.
might also wait until my workspace looks less like a tool & scrap rummage sale too many projects on the go...

Put price tags on all the clutter in the background, you might get some offers from people watching your demo. A bed sheet will make a lot of the stuff disappear.
You could always take your stuff to a park or other famous location that would make a nice back drop to your video.
