TEXTILE INKS

•Very runny

•Couldn’t easily save ink

•

Ink bled through t-shirt onto platen

YUDU INKS

•

Perfect consistency to produce a nice,

crisp image

•Screw off top allows for ink salvage

•Ink easily washes out of screen when

cleaned up prior to ink drying

•Allows screens to be saved for

future use

•Water-based inks make cleanup easy

FABRIC PAINT

•Design was faded

•Not a nice, crisp image

•Ink dried instantly onto screen and

ruined screen

- Hard to clean off

- Plugged up image on screen

•

Stained squeegee

FASHION PAINT

•Opening in bottle is too small to

reuse ink

•Ink plugged up and ruined screen

RUINED SCREEN

This screen has been washed, but the

fabric inks have remained lodged in the

screen, ruining it for further use.

INK TESTING RESULTS

CAUTION

Do not use generic textile or fabric inks with your Yudu screens.

Using non-Yudu inks can permanently damage your screen.

DESIGN

Create design on computer.

For multicolored designs, separate

colors into different layers.

TIP: Not all designs need to be created

on the computer. Be creative by drawing

freehand on your transparency.

1. CREATE DESIGN

Print design in black on Yudu blank

transparencies. For multicolored designs,

print each layer separately.

Print on dull side of transparency. A

moist ﬁnger will stick to dull side of

transparency.

TIP: For multicolored designs, you may

ﬁnd it helpful to create registration marks

on each layer in the exact same spot.

This will allow you to easily line up layer 1

and layer 2 later.

LAYER 1

LAYER 2

RECOMMENDED MATERIALS TO SCREEN-PRINT

Yudu inks are designed for use with textile fabric: cotton, 50/50 poly/

cotton blend, and similar fabrics. Yudu water-based inks are

water soluble and easy to clean up.

OTHER MATERIALS TO TRY

-Wood

-Paper

-Porous fabric

CAUTION

Printing on materials other than textile fabric may yield

different results.

PREPARE

2. PREPARE SCREEN

TIP: The back of your screen is completely

ﬂush with the metal edge. The front is

slight lower than the edge.

TIP: You can use a spray bottle to wet screen.

TIP: Run squeegee up and down back and

front of screen to remove excess water.

Spray the screen with water. It should be

completely wet, but not dripping.

Remove the emulsion sheet from the

black plastic bag in a dimly lit area.

TIP: There are two sides to the sheet, one

shiny and one dull. If you can’t tell which

is which, wet your ﬁngers and touch the

corner. The sticky side is the dull side.

TIP: Center the emulsion on the screen.

not allow mesh to touch anything while

applying emulsion.

Apply the dull/sticky side to the back of

the wet screen.

Make sure the screen is clean and free of

dust, lint, and oil.

All screen preparation MUST be done

on the back.

3. APPLY EMULSION TO SCREEN:

PREPARE

Adhere transparency, printed side up,

to the glass on the Yudu machine using

clear tape.

For single color designs, go to "Exposing

Screen" on page 8.

Tape second design layer to second registration

panel, stacking the images, and ensuring it is

registered with ﬁrst layer. Repeat for each

design layer.

When design layers are secured to registration

panels, remove all but the ﬁrst panel.

5. MULTICOLORED DESIGNS:

Press light table button.

4. SINGLE COLORED DESIGNS:

Place ﬁrst registration panel on

registration posts.

Mount ﬁrst design layer to registration

panel with clear tape.

Run squeegee over the shiny surface of

the emulsion.

TIP:Inspectfront ofthescreen for anybubbles ordry

areas. Dry areas will have a spiderweb pattern. Use spray

bottle with water to lightly mist any dry areas. Squeegee

both sides of screen to eliminate excess water prior to

drying. Dry edges of screen with a paper towel or cloth.

Place screen in drying rack of Yudu machine.

Press fan button to begin a 20 minute drying

cycle. The fan will stop and the machine will beep at the

close of the cycle. In drier climates the screen may dry

after as little as one cycle. In more humid climates the

drying process may require several cycles. For humid

climates you may blot moisture from the underside

of the screen with a dry cloth towel and/or squeegee

excess moisture from the screen to speed the drying

process. Test for dryness before moving on to the next

steps. After emulsion has dried, remove plastic ﬁlm.

TIP: A hair dryer can be used to accelerate the

drying process.

TIP: Leaving door open while drying will speed up

the process. Repeat the drying process if necessary.

PREPARE

Add extra weight to top of platen to

ensure proper exposure (approximately

5 lbs). Using up and down buttons on

timer, set exposure time (approximately

8 minutes).

Press exposure button.

WARNING: Turn off machine for 1 minute

between exposures to allow unit to

cool down.

For multicolored designs, use new

screen and repeat exposure, wash, and

drying steps for each artwork layer.

When machine beeps and exposure light

turns off, remove weight, platen, and

screen from machine. Exposed emulsion

will turn from green to blue after

exposure. Design will remain green.

Wet both sides of screen with COOL

water and let it sit for a minute. Spray

screen with cool water to remove green

emulsion from design area. It may be

necessary to gently rub both sides of

screen by hand or use a soft sponge to

remove emulsion in detailed design areas.

Place screen front side up/emulsion side

down on registration posts. Place platen

on platen posts, foam side down, on top

of screen.

After emulsion has completely dried,

remove protective plastic sheet from

unexposed, emulsiﬁed screen.

Blot screen with lint-free towel. Place

screen in drying rack.

TIP: If plastic sheet does not remove

easily, the emulsion is not dry.

Press fan button.

It will take one drying cycle or more for

screen to dry. Touch screen with ﬁngers to

make sure it is dry. A hair dryer or fan may

be used for additional drying.

8. PRINT SCREEN

Insert the ﬁrst screen onto top lid (make

sure screen ﬁts over registration posts,

front side up).

Before using platen, remove protective

sheet from platen adhesive sheet.

Apply generous bead of ink onto screen

just above design. Make sure bead of ink

is at least as wide as design.

Flood screen with ink by gently pulling

squeegee across design.

Mount t-shirt or other material on

platen. Open lid and place platen on

platen posts. Close lid.

TIP: Tape the back of the screen around

edges to seal any open screen areas.

TIP: Use Yudu Blockout (sold separately)

or small pieces of tape to ﬁll any holes,

scratches, and registration marks in emulsion.

TIP: When adhesive sheet is no longer

sticky, peel off and replace. (Adhesive

sheets sold separately. )

TIP: For large open areas of design,

you may ﬁnd it necessary to be more

generous with ink.

TIP: Hold lid up at a slight angle while

ﬂooding screen. Make sure material is not

touching the screen before you ﬂood image.

TIP: Material should be completely

adhered to platen with platen adhesive

sheets to keep material from shifting.
