Hi,
I'm new to screenprinting and looking to do a small run of t-shirts.
I decided to diy the shirts because it's something for a few friends, something where I may make one or two t-shirts every few weeks. I realize that most shops would rather not do that. After doing some researching, it looks like I will need a few things, I just wanted some feedback as to if I was on the right track.
Frame: I was looking at making my own and streching with a mesh count of 156-190. But after some more looking it looks like mesh is ~$20 a yard, for that cost I would rather spend $25 on a premade screen and not worry about it.
Will this mesh count be adaquate for the design I'm planning on with black ink on a white shirt?
Is the mesh price I'm finding an average cost?
Just getting some general photo-emulsion, no particular brand in mind.
Inks: a guy at the local Community College print shop told me a while back they used speedball, from looking on here it seems like Plastisol is the ideal. Though I'm not sure what opacity to look for.
What specific black ink should I be looking at? The
Union Ink Company | Screen Printing Inks website was getting to me as there are lots of different types of ink.
Thanks for the help!
Mesh count required for this print -are my #'s correct?
