Provocraft Yudu Ink-Primary Review

Provocraft Yudu Ink-Primary
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
You can buy a 32 oz. bottle of t-shirt paint for $25. I bought the three primary colors for $75. If you're doing a short run set of shirts, these are great. If you want to make 100's of shirts (for example, if you're in a band) then this is the worst way to go.
Yudu tries making it seem that using these paints will help the emulsion last longer on the screens. I've used regular T shirt paint over and over on the Yudu emulsion and screen. As long as you wash it off when you're done, they will last a long time.

This is a good product and the only reason I gave it 3 stars is because I was under the impression that the spray bottle was full of the emulsion remover. This was not the case, the spray bottle is empty and you use half of the concentrate to make up one solution.

I've used screen printing products on and off for quite a few years now on various projects. Because my projects varied, I was never able to nail down a good exposure time. This product made exposure easy. It changes color as it hardens so all you have to do is keep an eye on it, and when the exposed area turns blue - You're done! So easy.

For people new to screen printing, be sure to get the opaque ink for dark fabrics. While attempting to make a shirt I learned the hard way that you have to use opaque ink on a black t-shirt. Once I did this, my shirts were awesome!!! This brand and color was great and I definitely recommend.

The sheets come in a two pack rolled up in a tube. The last three tubes I bought I opened up and only one sheet out of each tube was usable. The film and sheet were unattached. I tried using the defective sheet anyways and without the film attached, it does.not work
I was happy with one sheet but disappointed with the other. I doubt I will recommend these.

The emulsion sheets seem very convient, but they don't work well. If the emulsion doesn't adhere properly a sheet is wasted, at the high cost it just isn't worth it. A MUCH better, easier and cheaper product is the Diazo emulsion it works wonderfully and you can do MANY more prints per application.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Screen Printing Hobby Kit, by Ryonet Corporation is a great instructional product for the right price.
The DVD lessons on how screen printing works make this item a worthwhile investment. Having used and almost considered the Yudu, I decided to try this product after seeing their instructional approach.
You will need a few more things to get started. However, these are not hard to get. The product overall does what it promises very well. I was able to make great one color prints and the most time consuming task was the drying [Curing the water based ink].
The delivery was fast, the components were easy to assemble, and the instruction was exceptional.
Additional things you will need:
A rig to position the exposure light 18" from the frame [I made mine, but can purchase theirs]
A 16" x 18" transparent glass [The Home Depot has affordable pieces]
A Yellow light-bulb [The Home Depot has an affordable green bug light that worked for me]
A hot air gun [The Home Depot had few, buy yours here at Amazon]
A water hose [The first time I used my bathtub it worked great but you should use a hose for more control]
A printer [Nothing fancy but do print as dark as it is possible]
Shirts, [Other appropriate surfaces]
I recommend this product as a valuable instructional tool for the beginner screen printing enthusiast.
Happy learning.

Hack the Yudu Screen Liquid Emulsion Kit (Replaces 50 Yudu Emulsion Sheets) Review

Hack the Yudu Screen Liquid Emulsion Kit (Replaces 50 Yudu Emulsion Sheets)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got my Yudu here on Amazon. But the cost of the emulsion sheets were way to expensive for me. I admit I never used the sheets included in the Yudu kit (still have them). Instead I purchased this kit from DIY (at their website not through Amazon).
I learned how to coat the screen and it was very easy to do. I am not a screen printer or "crafty," (I am working on my masters in Software Engineering). Yet, I found the screen coating really fun. Some days after studying, I'll coat my Yudu screens before I go off to bed. The next day I have screens ready to use.
This holiday I made three color shirts as gifts. So this kit really helped when I screwed up one of the screens. The liquid emulsion allows me to prep a screen really fast and wash out a mistake. It is better than the sheets in that the cost per screen is more like 50 cents. As I now own 7 Yudu screens, I can coat a screen in under a minute. I do not have to worry about air-bubbles and such.
There is a Yudu forum, and you will find that most people who are using the Yudu are using liquid emulsion.
It did take a screen or two before I got the hang of it. But with the cost per screen so low, it was OK. Anyone can afford to a few screw-ups. The DVD hos lots of good info. The scoop coater is professional and the remover will last over 50 screens.
Lastly, I world recommend the Matsui water based inks for Yudu'ers. They work great with this emulsion and the Yudu.

If you're tired of spending $10 to make a Yudu screen, this is for you.If you're tired of spending $10 to screw up a Yudu screen, this is really for you!Coating your screen with liquid emulsion is EASY and costs less than $1 per screen.

Once you've coated your screen with liquid emulsion, you just treat it the same way you would if you used the Yudu emulsion sheets.

--Burn the screen for the same amount of time.

--Dry the screen in the Yudu screen rack, if you like.

--The emulsion uses the very same emulsion remover too, and the kit includes enough concentrate to mix a whole gallon of emulsion remover. (If you bought the Yudu emulsion remover for $7.99 [3oz bottles], that's a savings of over $300 alone!)

The diyTeeShirts Hack the Yudu Screen Kit includes:

Speedball Ultimate Screen Printing Kit Review

Speedball Ultimate Screen Printing Kit
Average Reviews:

Dear artsavedmylife-
We are very sorry that you had a bad experience with your Speedball Screen Printing Kit. While screen printing does require some trial and error, we strive to make the kits complete, fun, and easy to use. Unfortunately, we have not found a way to make them foolproof. Your comments regarding the instructions are well-taken and we have tried to make them easier. To that end, we now include a free instructional DVD in the kit. If you contact me directly, I would be happy to send you the DVD as well as some additional supplies to see if they perform better for you. We include our toll free number in every kit and have people available to help anyone who is having difficulty with our products.

The Ultimate kit does indeed come with 2 different size screens as described on the package. One 8x10 screen and one 10x14 screen provides flexibility and the opportunity to work with 2 screens simultaneously if the printmaker desires. We make many other sizes, but these are two of the most popular. There are also two 9 inch squeegees (referred to as 'scrapers'). One is designed to lay down a heavier layer of ink for printing on fabric, while the other is designed for printing on paper and similar less porous materials. The 9 inch squeegee is the optimal size to print across the width of the 8x10 screen and lengthwise in the 10x14 screen. With this combination you can print either size on both fabric and paper.
You don't need to coat the screen in the dark when using Speedball photo emulsion. We coat screens every day in our lab, at home, in schools, and at printmaking studios around the country in broad daylight with no difficulty. Just be sure to let it dry in a dark place like a cabinet or closet. Once dry, you have a couple minutes in the light before you begin the exposure so there is no need for a darkroom.
It is a real mistake to disparage the "other screen methods" as arts and crafts or child's projects. One need only see the screen prints of Henri Matisse or Jacob Lawrence to learn what an artist can create out of simplicity.
Speedball was the pioneer of water-based screen printing nearly 40 years ago. At a time when other available screen printing materials were harsh, solvent based chemicals, Speedball invested heavily in the research and development of safe, easy to use screen printing materials to complement their water-based relief printing inks. Although we have worked with thousands of students, art educators, and professional artists; we clearly have room to improve and appreciate your feedback.
