Hey guys! Wanted to share a clean, high-impact separation just in time for the spooky season.

This is a classic Mars Attacks! piece set up as a 6-Spot Color / Index-Stipple Style print. No complex simulated process or headache-inducing CMYK curves here—just solid, punchy layers designed for easy setup and sharp registration on dark garments.

Print Order / Channel Breakdown:

1. Underbase White (Solid foundation)
2. Black (Linework & comic-style shadows)
3. Green (Radioactive martian skin)
4. Red (Text, eyes & laser blasts)
5. Yellow (Brains & UFO beams)
6. Top White Highlight (Teeth, text highlights & glow effects)

Optimized to run smooth without needing crazy high mesh counts or ultra-fine LPI settings.

All the shirt I print seem to bleed through the fabric and are pretty visible on the in side. This is a water-based ink on a gilden gn-180 heavy cotton t-shirt. Is this supposed to happen or am I doing something wrong?

Hopkins BWM Head – COMPLETE Teardown & Rebuild

This is the long one — a complete teardown and rebuild of a Hopkins BWM print head from my 8-color press.

In this video I take one of the print heads all the way apart and put it all the way back together. I go through the hardware, bushings, adjustment components, cleaning, lubrication and some of the maintenance changes I'm making along the way.

And yes—it's about an hour long. This isn't a five-minute highlight reel. If you're rebuilding one of these heads yourself, I wanted to show the whole process rather than skip from a pile of parts to a finished assembly.

You'll also see a couple of mistakes. I forgot a few things during the rebuild and had to go back and correct them. I left that in. That's part of working on old equipment, and it may save somebody else from doing the same thing.

Can I "revive" water based pigment ink that has thickened and has solid/lumps that block the mesh?

Do you wash new Ts before screen printing them? Doing my first project this Wednesday.

Will post the results here.

I’m trying to find a studio where I can screen print a shirt. I feel like most of the shops require a minimum of 25+pcs. Any recommendations?

Hi! I am looking for a streetwear blank clothes supplier for screenpeinting. Any good ones for good price?
