INK REMOVAL 101A

This is a brief video on how-to finesse the ink off the screen frame for an on-press ink change. And, it offers the easiest way to remove the ink at the conclusion of printing using PWG122 PressWash.

FIRST UP. HOW-TO REMOVE INK FROM A SCREEN ON-PRESS:

Start with PWG122 Press Wash that has been designed to rapidly flash off the screen so that you can quickly and easily make an ON-PRESS ink change.

Next, lift the printer arm holding the screen frame that you want to make the color change on so that you are looking at the underside of the screen frame.

Using a paper or cloth towel, squirt some press wash onto the cloth. Working from the underside of the screen, wipe the targeted spot until ink is removed.

Then, lift the screen and if it still seems to need a little more work, use cloth to carefully finish wiping from the squeegee side.

Before you start to print, spray the platen with RBA2, an Aerosol Adhesive Spray Mist to help ensure that the t-shirt will remain stable on the platen. For fleece and heavier fabrics, a good choice is RBA3 Adhesive Web. 

Now, flood the screen and continue printing.

Once you have completed printing the project, card off the ink and proceed to the washout booth to clean the ink off the screen. The next part of the video will take place at the RhinoCleanWashout Booth for an Ink Removal demo using SWG14C-citrus-scented Screen Wash.

Squirt the screen wash onto the screen and begin scrubbing. Scrub on both sides. Very quickly, the ink will begin to emulsify.

With a pressure washer, like the amazing RS1500A, rinse the screen on both sides. To get rid of any residue, apply a bit more SWG145C, scrub and rinse. If you prefer a soy-based product, choose SWG305.

EQUIPMENT AND PRODUCTS SUMMARY:

The manual, textile printer used in the demo is a SureCure 5-4/2 combo Conveyor Dryer/Textile Screen Printer from RhinoTech with a 110V.

The RhinoClean Washout Booth is made of Polypro with an aluminum stand.

Soy-based, SWG305 Screen Wash and SWG145C  are excellent options for the final screen wash.

On-Press Wash: PWG122. And, PWG125 is a multi-purpose Press Wash that will also work on card stock, U.V. and Plastisol inks.

NEXT UP!
Stay tuned for the next in the series that is How-To REMOVE A STENCIL.

How to Expose and Develop Screens 101A

How to EXPOSE AND DEVELOP A SCREEN FRAME 101A.

This video is Part 2 in our series following Coating Screens 101A. 

Today, we’re using a BL1620 ExposureUnit w/UV Black lights. It has a simple on/off switch. You just have to add a timer system; we use the timer on our phones.

EXPOSING THE SCREEN FRAME

The first step is to have your artwork ready. As you can see, we printed our artwork onto RhinoJet Film PositiveMaterial using an Epson 1430. We used this water-proof clear film material because it provides a very dense film positive helping to ensure that no light will penetrate the blacked out area.

Next, position the film positive material onto the Exposure System.

Then, position the previously coated screen frame over the film positive (the frame that we coated in the video Coating Screens 101A).

Add a pressure plate to ensure good contact. We use one that is made of melamine board with foam (foam side down) to ensure that the film is tight against the screen. We also add a few gallons of RhinoMite adhesive to secure it even more.

Turn Exposure System on.

We know that it will take a 4-minute exposure, because of previous test results. So…always test with a film positive that has been pre-made for you using different filters. This will help you narrow down variables due to type of Exposure System and type of emulsion you’re using.

Once the screen is exposed, retrieve the screen frame and get ready to begin the Developing Process.

THE DEVELOPING PROCESS

The first step in the DEVELOPING PROCESS is to move to the RhinoClean Washout Booth. Place screen in the booth and wet screen on both sides.

Next, set Pressure Washer to wide fan with low pressure (easily done with the RS 1500A) and with a smooth motion, continue to wash frame – notice we’re working on the non-squeegee side of frame. Be sure to flip frame and continue washing the other side.

Watch the design appear.

And, that’s it. You’ve just observed how simple it is to Expose and Develop a Screen Frame using the RhinoTech method.

Now, let the screen dry before you begin the Blocking Out process. And, because there are a few ways to do that, please watch for Part 3 in the series, Blocking out a Screen Frame 101A.

Thanks for watching the easiest way to Expose and Develop a screen frame from RhinoTech. We look forward to working with you.

HOW TO COAT A SCREEN PRINTING FRAME - 101A.

YOU ASKED. THIS IS THE VIDEO DEMO.

THESE ARE THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO SIMPLIFY THE SCREEN COATING PROCESS

1 – Screen Printing Frame

2- RhinoSol 500 Dual Cure Emulsion + Sensitizer

Add sensitizer to emulsion and then let stand so bubbles will disappear.

3 - Scoop Coater that has a rounded and sharp side and an angle piece that enables you to tip and rock and shear in one smooth motion.

I want to point out that, generally, you’ll be working with this in a light safe environment. For demo purposes, I’m going to work a bit quickly and then move to a dark light area for screen drying.

STEPS TO COATING A SCREEN FRAME

To begin, pour emulsion into scoop coater without over-filling and then begin to coat the non-squeegee side of the screen frame.

The reason that it’s important to start on the non-squeegee side of the frame is because you want to have the build-up on the bottom or non-squeegee side of the frame.

Move scoop coater straight up the frame and then shear off at the top. REPEAT.

Next, turn screen around and coat the squeegee side. REPEAT.

Place frame in a horizontal position in a light safe drying rack to dry.

Once dry, the next phase will be to expose the screen. And, that will be Part 2 in the series, EXPOSING AND DEVELOPING SCREENS 101A.

Really appreciate you watching our demo. If you need more info and have questions, please contact us at 651-686-5027 x 4 OR info@rhinotechinc.com. We look forward to working with you.

A simple, economical way to remove emulsion from a screen frame!

These are DIP Tanks!

With great authority, it is highly recommended that a screen frame that has been used by a screen or graphics printer be plunged into a DIP TANK that has been filled with the 'greenest' emulsion removal chemical, as possible, to remove the stencil and bring the screen mesh back to like-new condition!

Why use a 'green' chemical?

1.     Save time and money by cutting down the amount of cleaning chemicals used in a self-contained Dip Tank (Soak Tank).

      2.     By using a ‘green’ chemical such as RhinoClean Green² Emulsion Remover or  AP1000, an all-in-one Ink Degradent Emulsion Remover, all types

of emulsions can be eliminated quickly and safely from the screen frame!

3.     You are closer to becoming compliant with local city, Parrish, township, county, state &

federal guidelines regarding what goes down the drain.

4. Our industry’s carbon footprint is reduced with a self-contained 

screen cleaning system.

RhinoTech: HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS are NEXT GENERATION of SCREEN PRINTERS.

This next generation of screen printers amazes us with their questions, energy and creativity and the way that they quickly grasp any type of new technology.

Demonstrating the newest stencil-making system to them at various trade shows using RhinoScreen Dry Stencil Film has been inspiring. Their reactions to a system that utilizes just a computer, laser printer and heat press to produce vibrant products has been positive, especially when the realization hits that instead of the traditional, lengthy stencil-making system, they can implement a 4 - step process. With the elimination of the need for a film positive, emulsion, capillary film, exposure and drying time, the students easily understand how their classroom and on-the-job productivity is increased. And it is also gratifying for us to provide hands-on instruction to the high school instructors whose responsibility it is to launch capable, up-to-date graduates into our industry.

Let us help you increase your productivity and bottom-line using the latest stencil-making system. It is revolutionizing the industry and you should be part of it.
