A YuDu Day...Screen Printing My Tail Off

Have spent most of the day making t-shirts. My good friends have a live show coming up this Friday and I have been screen printing some shirts with their logo so they can sell them at the show.



I have been on a roll. Over 25 shirts made so far and 10 more to go. Needed to wash the screen and take a break and thought this would be a perfect time to make a blog posting.


I really enjoy the YuDu machine. At times it can get frustrating, it can be very temperamental. But the more projects I do the easier it gets. Sometimes I feel I forget all the tricks and tips I learn from each screen printing run. My problem is I never write anything down, so I find myself relearning a bit each time I use it. It has been a great investment and don't think I would able to complete projects like this any other way. For large productions of shirts, like I am doing now, this machine is awesome. I don't think it is cost effective if you want to make one of a kind shirts. Though I have heard you can use the freezer paper method with the YuDu screens. I haven't tried this yet but will in the future. I have made a shirt by applying vinyl to the screen instead of the emulsion sheet, but this method would only last for a few shirts. There are some great videos about using the YuDu on Youtube. This is where I have learned most of my techniques. If you have a YuDu or want to buy a YuDu and have questions, please feel free to email me or comment and I will try and help the best I can.
