I haven't used the system before, sorry. I do remember someone on the forums mentioning it though, so it might come up in a search.Ken Styles said:has anyone every use photoez?
From what I understand plastisol transfers need to be cured pretty precisely so they can be properly applied. I'm not sure if that can be done with a flash curer or not, but it probably wouldn't be the best way to keep things precise. If that was the case, you'd need a conveyor oven (not cheap, obviously). Either way, you'd at least need a flash unit in addition to the printing kit.badalou said:And can you make plastisol transfer of one color so you don't go directly to tee shirt????
I have some friends that do pinstriping and they use these little screens for logos all the time. Use them for thier own company logos and several auto company logos as well which are quite small. Very fast and great results with the auto paints.Ken Styles said:^ true..
I wonder if it would be a good idea to use these photoez to screenprint your logo design or tradmark/brand onto the inside back of a shirt...insdead of sewing on custom clothing tags?
Cool, good to know.Shirley at EZScreenprint.com is on this site and is one of the best business contacts I've ever come across. It may be a pain to order from the USA every time but at least there's someone at the other end who honestly cares about her customers. If I had the cash I'd be begging for a distributors licence for the European market but until then I'm firmly behind EZScreenprint.com - my whole range is printed with it!
I've not used them long as I'm fairly new on the scene but I've noticed no deterioration in the screens at all. I use waterbased inks so I can't comment on how they stand up to repeated cleaning with plasisol. Multiple prints are easier if you mount it on a flat frame like those they sell on their site (I tape them on with masking tape and it holds great). This is what their website says on the matter though:Raven, how long do the EZ papers last? Is there a lifespan in terms of how many prints you can do with them? I'm considering using these for logos, labels, etc as suggested here instead of using a full-size screen.
Q: How long will the stencil last and how many times can it be used?
A: With proper care PhotoEZ Silk Screen Stencil will last a long time and can be used over and over again. After applying ink or paint immediately clean the stencil, let it completely dry then use it again and again. Do not allow paint to dry on stencil.
I have been using the Versatex Silver Lace metallic ink in the main and that has no problems whatever with coverage on black. I have some Versatex super opaque white now though so I'm going to be trialling that shortlyCool, good to know.
So I guess the white waterbased ink works out well on black shirts right?

I think the white turns out best......I have tried red and yellow on a blck shirt and it didnt turn out too good,maybe I should have done white first and then afterwords another coat of other color.But I like the way the white turned out,it was nice and thick.Cool, good to know.
