Default Screenprinting with Multiple colors

Can someone give me some advice on screen printing with multiple colors? I screen print from home using just a 20x24in. screen with no high-tech screen printing equipment.

What is the best way to print with numerous colors so that everything is lined up correctly?

Thanks!

If you are good with your hands there is a DIY 4 color press manual floating around on this board. I believe the materials cost comes up to less than $100-150. Do a search at the top of the page.

You'll need a multi-screen press to print multi colored designs correctly.

thats right. You need a multi-color press to properly register a design that has more than one color. Check out "Ryonet" videos on Youtube. they have useful information on how to properly register multicolor works so that they line up well
