Silk screen printing

[frank10 12]

I will be giving a demo on screen printing troop Tshirts at our upcooming roundtable. Problem is I use a small press, heat cure inks and a flash panel to do my work. This equipment is beyound the scope ot the demo but it is the only thing I know.

I have a bottle of "normal" screen printing ink and a small screen that can be used with the press for the demo.

 

I want to give them just enough iinfo that they could do a one color troop logo on a Tshirt but not so much that they write it off as too much work.

 

Has any one ever used any of the low budget kits like the one from Speedball? are they worth it? Can they do 20 shirts?

 

I can reduce the equipment list to:

Ink

screen

squeegee

photo emulsion (small jar)

haligen work light

yellow light bulb

tape

Tshirt

 

Any thoughts or experiences to share?

Oops, typo - make that ->

I have a bottle of "normal" screen printing ink and a small screen that can be used WITHOUT the press for the demo.

And while we are on the topic, Any one know of a good wholesaler for Tshirts. I use Virginia Tees but ther must be one closer to CT.
