When you are screen printing a design that has overlapping or touching colors, there are different techniques you can use depending on the result you are trying to achieve. I'm comparing two common methods that I call "overlap" and "knockout."  You will see the overlap method leaves you with a stripped effect in the red ink.  The knockout method colors are not layered, so they soak into the shirt evenly.

    How do you align your screens in a way to always make it on the mark. When ever I do multiple shirts by the second go around I can’t see through the screen to line up properly
  • @latishashaw3973
    Love the video. What about the dark room or drying room or something like that for the drying process? I see other videos have a dark room.

    when screen printing with Vinyl, I assume I am only able to use that print for just the one day? You couldnt reuse the same vinyl after doing a cleanup could you?
  • @drmikecubbin
    Thanks so much! If I am adding a second design over the first one, should I cure the first background color first and then add the second? Or can I just let the first (background) color dry a couple of days, add the second color on top, and cure them both together? Much appreciated :)

    Where did you purchase the screen printing machine and I see you place a orange dot on color does that help align? Any tips for aligning the screen straight
  • @itsjustlexxx
    I think we have the same screen printing machine I just opened mine up and I got one from Walmart a few months ago

    How long do you let the ink dry before you do the second layer
