Do-it-yourself Basic Screen Printing Starter Kit by EZScreenPrint

I wanted to make shirts for the end of year party for my daughter's second grade class. However we did not have the budget to buy screened shirts. I bought this and held my breath. It was so easy to use and there are GREAT videos on ezscreenprint.com that really walk you throug the whole process. I was shocked at how nice the shirts came out. Please note that the ink is not included so you'll also need to but that separately. I can't wait to make the next batch of shirts.

First, the screens don't stay put which means you have to rig it in order to get perfect prints. It smudges and bleeds if you don't apply clamps and tape. Then there is the problem of no security while taking it apart to see if the prints came out okay. I find the original way (emulsion inside a wooden or metal frame with silk screen) is much more accurate and professional looking. This doesn't kill time. It takes more time to try to get things done.Second, the sheets are quite costly. You can get way more done with a mixture of from actual emulsion kits. If you mess up, your out that sheet.Third, the sheets don't harden like you think. They're flimsy. Also why it's so hard to get real professional looking printing done with them.I wouldn't recommend wasting your money. Thankfully, I've already done that for you.

Hard to really perfect. The sheets are very costly and it takes several tries to get the kinks worked out. Is a unique product. Which it were not so costly.

Made my first prints yesterday and they turned out great. Minus one star because I think it should come a third screen at the price they're charging (over $50 with shipping). The kit is a little bit cheesy with some dollar store parts that you could round up pretty cheaply on your own, except for the exposure unit Plexiglas. Their refill screens are $10 each. That's $30 on the remaining dollar store parts! It needs a bigger and/or better squeegee. The one in the kit is only about 2" long. I really wish they gave some guidelines about how many prints you can pull from one of these. I'm making products to wholesale and I'd like to know. Burning the screen was fun and easy and I'll definitely be buying refills.

I liked the product very much. It was definitely worth the money.

If you follow the instructions you're bound to come out with a great print. I highly recommend this kit for someone just starting out with screen printing or someone who wants to experiment with making their own t-shirt. A free software program called Inkscape really helped me get an image that would transfer well. There are tutorials online that explain how to get a good image for screen printing.

I hate this product. There...I said it.

This is kind of a hodgepodge of supplies in an envelope. It's not the easiest way to be introduced to screen printing. If you just want the supplies, it will be great. Not great for learning.
