A new instructional video from Ryonet Corp., Vancouver, Wash., demonstrates a simple method for quickly changing ink colors during screen printing that saves time and money without compromising results.
The step-by-step tutorial, shown above, walks viewers through the process of swapping colors on-press using the company’s Sgreen Supreme Wash and a technique involving minimal hassle, and ink and chemical waste.
The demonstration discusses exposure considerations and planning color order, as well as using a squeegee and junk shirts to clean screens quickly and effectively. Viewers will get the lowdown on this time-saving alternative to making a duplicate set of screens that’s especially ideal for smaller runs. — J.L.
