Screen Printing Process for Pedals Breakdown

This is great thank you for the link. It looks like theyre appropriately sized screens. My only gripe is they look like theyre not making them anymore and might be hard in the future to get those screens 🙃
 
Thank you for this. This is a huge help. For the Nazdar how do you go about cleaning? Any cleaning agents?
The nazdar info sheet lists a specific cleaner that might be available in your area, but theres an industrial screen printing supply store in my area that sells some stuff that's just called 'press wash' that worked for me but yeah it is pretty spicy stuff, I have to keep it in the special solvent room at the studio I work out of.
 
Im thinking on getting that Nazdar...I think the fact that you can wash it out with water makes it much easier to work with in my situation.
I just want to clarify here, the Nazdar epoxy stuff is 100% NOT WATER SOLUBLE! Do not wash that stuff down the sink it will clog your pipes and be very expensive to fix! This stuff needs the special solvent cleaner!

The water soluble stuff I use is the Jacquard screen ink, sticks well to the enclosure but I also have to spray a layer of clear coat on them so that the ink doesn't scratch off as easily.

I'd recommend asking around at some studios in your area, both to see if they have facilities you can use for this stuff and also because they can probably recommend where to get supplies. You can get decently small screens but as you can see in my guide I use normal sized ones anyways. I don't think those Riso print kits linked will work very well for what you want to do.
 
Ok great to know! I think I’m going to be sticking to the Oneshot. I know it’s exactly where to get mineral spirits. I also found a more environment safe cleaner that will clean up solvent based inks.

I already have the screen I have a 20x24 size screen. I’m only doing the labels for the knobs for now. I’m thinking this should be way more than enough. Plus in the future I was hoping when I get the hang of it I can put maybe 2 designs on the same screen.
