Re: ALL IN ONE ?!? coater - burner - screen dryer - platen !?!
I think it's a great way for kids (or older people like myself) to learn.
....like I said up above..."This is not for the "serious" million shirt PRO screener!!"
(or even for the 30 shirt screener)
I have seen REAL screening videos....and WOW.....you all are PROS!!!!
...makes me wonder why you all sell your shirts so cheap?!?! ESPECIALLY for all of the work that goes into real screening!!!!

Because the perception of screen printers has been devalued. Everyone sees screen printing as an easy thing to do. "oh, I can pull a squeegee!" So people think it's worthless. So many people decide to buy these semi pro press kits and give up after a little bit because they realize how there is so much more to printing then meets the eye.

...Maybe a product like this will eventually teach people NOT to devalue a screeners work! I certainly do not.
You all should make MUCH more than you do!!!!!!!
I have watched so many videos on real screening and how truly complicated and time-consuming it is!
(I think that this kind of contraption is more for the "craft" joann/michael's/acmoore sort of person. I have a craft person inside of me)
....I just think it is a neat "craft" invention, that's all.
BUT IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!!
I found this on an ETSY thread....
The following quote is from a "REP" discussing the product....
"
toniasarah says: PoPkO, that's great feedback about the size of the ink bottles. We have discussed selling large "costco" sized bottles of ink for those who silk screen a lot. I have pricing information for those of you who were asking specific questions. These prices are suggested retail prices in US dollars.
platen adhesive, 2 pack $8 (each of these lasts a LONG time) emulsion sheets, 2 pack $18.50 3 pack of ink (3 different colors) $22 emulsion remover $8 110 mesh screen $28
I will look into availability in Canada and get back with you TheTinyFig.
Keep the questions coming. I'll keep checking back and answering what I can."

I just purchased the Yudu, in hope that I can play with some designs to get my collection together. I think that it'll help me understand the process so I can make my designs easier to run off in quantity, & will hopefully save me countless trips back & forth just to test things!!
Re: ALL IN ONE ?!? coater - burner - screen dryer - platen !?!
They removed the emulsion film from the bag and then talked for 5 minutes. I thought you were supposed to keep it away from light until you were ready to expose an image onto it?

Up until they printed the shirt I thought the video was a joke. Not saying the machine is a joke but the general setting and acting felt like a skit from Saturday Night Live. I was waiting on one of them to say "LIVE FROM NEW YORK..."

Nah. People are going to pay $300 + cost of the t-shirts to print a dozen shirts then it will dawn on them they could have had them professionally printed for less.

Laugh if you want....... but it's kinda cute!
(It's no DTG!!!!!LOL..... but this is next on my list!)
