My mind was just blown by how simple you made this look. i never thought something so complex as that image you used could be done so easily and quickly. This give my courage to try it for myself.

Dude. this is the best video i've see for putting graphics on tshirts. i will definitely be going back to this video and watching it over and over again. this was is WAY better than using transfers

I did a couple screen prints in art class in high school. For those of you questioning Nate,YES,what he is doing is RIGHT and will work 100% and YES people,you can wash the shirt. I mean..WHY would you do something to a shirt you want to wear only to NOT be able to wash it? Good simple video for a very barebones method of screen printing.

Love the simplicity of your technique. Wish I had seen this while in college. But, there's always...now. Great artwork. Thanks for sharing.

That's amazing. I've worked at a screen printing shop and it was no where near this easy. Great job.

I've watched a number of vids on printing, yours is absolutely the best. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Nate! Just stopping by to say thanks for the video! And thanks for being proactive in answering comments, even almost 3 years after uploading! The comments actually answered a few questions I had myself, so thanks a ton!

Awesome man! I will be using your technique in the near future! I love the simplicity of the process you showed us. Thank you!

DOPE video !!! excellent finished product !!! thanks for sharing !!

You make everything perfect! I worked for ten years in a screen printing company and they had never the details you made with the low budget version! Men you are awesome! Keep going... do you also print for clients? Liebe Grüße aus 🇦🇹 Austria

Omg I find that so incredible! I'm working on graphic design and screen printing in school and I love watching you videos so I actually know what to do when I finally do get to print cx love em!

Thanks so much for this helpful tutorial, I want to start screen printing on my own so this was very informative. Definitely will check out your site.

This was so damn wonderful I can not wait to do my own t shirts I will be the families favorite auntie! Plus I can make some rock shirts that I can't find in the US and cost waaaaayyyy to much to order from Japan. Thank you

Hi Nate, I have been watching ur video so many times, maybe roughly 50times...haaa. its a very well made video, i can tell. and I just wanted ask u one thing that is this film meshed film? a piece of mesh sandwiched by emulsion? or just like sand blast film?

Nate ~ I like what you're doing. Be encouraged. It's obvious to me that you are genuine in trying to help people get into the craft and maybe even start their own business. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming!

NATE, THAT WAS THE SINGLE BEST SCREEN PRINTING VIDEO ON YT!!!! I'M STARTING A T-SHIRT BUSINESS WITH A BUDDY (AND NEITHER ONE ONE US HAVE A NICKLE TO RUB TOGETHER) AND WE WHERE TRYING TO FIND A CHEAP WAY TO DO DEMO T -SHIRTS AND THIS IS AWESOME. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US! IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL, I'LL SEND YOU A DEMO T WHEN WE'RE UP AND RUNNING!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!

Hey Nate.......Where can I buy the exposure board with the magnets? BTW great tutorial.

You are so awesome for this video! Good instructions! :) Thanks, Nate.

This was the best vid I've seen on DIY screen printing. You're the real deal, man. Thanks for sharing.

Been wanting to screen print for a long time, thanks for the tutorial. Very informative and thorough!

Can you please give a list of supplies & where you purchased them?

So the liquid you're using at 2:10 is only water?

Thank you for sharing! I've been really messing up with rinsing the emulsion process, so this seems like a great fix! awesome video!

Thanx Nate your video has been most helpful to not over think just how easy it is to make custom shirts

the question that's important to me is, how long does the design last after washed and dried multiple times. treating it as if its a store bought shirt?

whats the paper you used when you ironed the fabric?

Fixed it! I hope you feel better! Thanks for the kind words, its encouraging.

Seriously, this is the most awesome and helpful video ever. Thank you so much!! Fantastic design as well!

What kind of paper go you use when you use the iron?

Hello Nate, Great video, anyway where can I buy all the things that I need to do the same screen print? Ex, what ink, etc.etc... I'm about to start a t-shirt business but I want to start with very little amount if possible. So if you can help me I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks so much! Looking for something like this for a project. Great instructions.

Great tutorial. Great example of simplifying a complex process.

What kit would I buy just to have what you used in this video? And how many "screens" come in it?

What did you put inside the shirt so it didn't leak the ink to the inside and back of the shirt?

That's pretty awesome! I haven't did screen print since the early 90s. Didn't know this gem existed. Hope I can find some in Sweden. Thanks for sharing this information.

That looks amazing dude! Thanks for the great tutorial!!!

i cant believe this shit worked.

AVG antivirus says natescreenprints.com is currently infected with "HTML:Script-inf [Susp]".

Thank you very much for this! When the student is ready the teacher will appear! Have been wanting to find out about screen printing, and this past week wanting to understand the process. Thank you as well, for the link!♥

This was incredibly helpful thanks, you explain things really well.

Now how about more then one color?

Hey dude, this was awesome, but the video was almost unwatchable. Is there some way you can shoot stuff without the auto-focus constantly searching for focus and exposure?

You are awesome. I'm doing some of my own designs and I'm going to do this. So much easier than changing everything I made so a company can print it. Thank you!!

This is confusing to me. I don't know what all these terms mean

Is that Legal to be Dumping all of those Chemicals down the drain like that; I work for a company and They have to Filter the waste water.

Thanks so much for this video! I have been very interested in screen printing but I thought it would be impossible for me to learn but I am excited to get my starter kit and try this at home!!

Thank you very much for sharing this. I appreciate it. VERY VERY helpful!

You should get a bigger sink :-)

For a personal shirt. yeah that looks cool. But if you want to make shirts to sell. I don't think that's what I'm looking for

This is really amazing, you just fixed a massive problem. Thanks again x

Thank you for putting this together. A really excellent tutorial.

finaly, something i can afford to do wthout buying the heat presser

it is the most complicated way ive ever seen

Welp. I'm thoroughly impressed. Everything was explained clearly and was very easy to understand. I thought something like screen printing would only be possibly with a huge investment, but this makes it look so do-able! Thanks!

Awesome job Nate!!! Got to try this!!

What a ripoff - EZScreenPrint - seriously, 3 exposure sheets $30? wow

Doesn't look very simple to me!

Thanks Nate..... great job explaining!

Wow looks awesome!!!! Thanks for the vid Nate!

the video is great the idea is great but the camera...

What "Nate" doesn't share with you here is that he is using silk screen "stencils" and only a couple of companies carry them. They cost $10 bucks a pop per 8.5x11" size sheet. But "Nate" doesn't care enough to tell you that. He tells you they are "emulsion sheets", which they are not. Emulsion Sheets are used on framed silkscreens and they are a lot cheaper per sheet ($2.50). I wonder how many people purchased actual emulsion sheets before they realized thats not what "Nate" is using and they just wasted their money because "Nate" doesn't know WTF he is talking about. Thanks "Nate"!

you CAN do it, anyone can! Best of luck and cant wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks for the great video. I have been wanting to do this and start a T- Shirt line. This should get me started.

dude you have some big photography problems. solve them! Otherwise very informative.

Simple my ass

good video thanks Nate I had used the liquid emulsion and all this seems much much easier.

This emulsion thing is new to me :O It's like magic! So far, I've been hesitant about screen printing because of my less than stellar skill with cutting out templates, but this would really help the process!

OMG, Are you kidding me? This is how not to print tee shirts. I would have printed over 1,000,000 shirts in a factory in my life and now I do print on demand with my own business. I would never do a start up business with this type of printing. Buy a carousel in the first place. Sure it costs money. Buy good squeegees. They cost money also. You have to pay money to start up a business. Don't rely on just a hair dryer. A hair dryer won't reliably cure your ink (or paint as he says). Anyone that says that ink is paint isn't a printer. To start up in printer you will need at least a paint dryer (for drying in winter (at home)) and then for curing the inks you will need a heat press in winter. You will need a heat press at all times when starting up as a printer or a start up business or small time printer. I used an old Singer heat press when I worked for a motorcycle shop so you can use these for medium productions also. You don't need a $20,000 machine that uses 15 Amps and as lot of foot space to do it though. I have a couple of different heat presses, some for shorts or mugs, plates or whatever but I only turn on one at a time. Simple small business. Start small and build up. Just use your head. :)

great video. Well done. I want to try to expand a t-shirt business this summer. I have a lot of good ideas.

Thank you for your video! We plan to have our girl scout troop screen print their own shirts. Your video was very helpful!!

Impressed by the simple process ideal for short runs I was thinking of using ink by hand to make the actual design on to transparent plastic stippling until dark enough I guess as long as it jet black will stop the light from hitting emulsion thank you for your video

Thank you so much. By far the best video so far

Yaaaay!!! How awesome of you to share this wonderful method!!! Thank you!!! :)

this is so smart!!! :D gotta try it! thanks for uploading this, dude

This is a great little video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about screen printing :)

Great video! Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Thank! I look forward to start creating shirts

Thankyou! Very nice work, well narrated process!

Wow... you make it so easy! I do alot of things with apparel but not this, so Im gonna try it. Thnks from argentina!

Awesome tutorial. You made my mind up on purchasing an EZ. Also, your design for this particular shirt is great. Nice detail

Wow! EXACTLY what I was looking for, Nate. Thank you so much!

I have a epson stylus sx100. Will this printer be good enough to print the design onto the transparent sheet? Is there also a certain ink to use in the printer? Thanks for your videos. I look forward to hear from you.

wow, you sir made this look easy and fun

Thank you, Nate. This was a very useful video.

Thanks nate. Awsome tutorial

Thank you Nate for sharing this!

Very good. Very helpful and detailed with all the right warnings and how-to's.

That is awesoooome. Came out really good.

Hello Nate, first let me say thank you for your helpful videos. My question: are you using a safe light bulb (like the one for darkroom) when you open the envelope containing the emulsion sheets and before direct light exposure?

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!! TAUGHT ME ALOT PLUS IN A DECENT CHEAPER WAY.

great vid, really informative. Just wondering, how long do the prints on the t-shirts last, do they stand up to machine washing?

Thank you for show me a easier way to screen printing .

Perfect and easy instructions, thanks so much :D

This was very helpful, thank you!!

This is awesome bro thank you for sharing this video two thumbs way up nice shirt by the way.

I love your art work its amazing

Long and patient search pays off. Use the discount; supplies coming soon. Thanks for the enlightenment. Cheers, J

Thanks Nate, you are a star!

hi nate! i love your tutorials! I got my first screen printing set from ezscreen since i watched many of your videos. My question is, I was trying to do a small design of batman and I followed all the instructions but i see that after i soak the emulsion sheet i see some kind of gooey stuff (on the area that i want to clean up) it is kind of messy to remove it and i ended up screwing some of the parts that were supposed to stay. Does it have anything to do with the fact that I have to put the transparency's shiny side (where the ink goes) facing the shiny side of the emulsion sheet? because what i was doing was printing my design in reverse on the transparency and then i placed the printed area (of the transparency) facing the light. :( please help meeeeee thanks!!!

Omg!!!! This literally changed my life! Lol omg!!! Im so happy!!!! Yaaaay! Thank you!!!!!
