Thanks for watching my videos and giving me the chance to help you with the experience; tools and honest  methods that will honor your progression in the challenging; fun and very versatile art of Screen Printing! No tricks or ripped off ideas(at elevated costs!)here. Just the REAL designer of this type of press and REAL DEAL skills backing it. There is a HUGE difference between what copycats know/ sell and what REAL screen printers do and sell. We are NOT the same.


 
     Welcome to my purposefully simple website! 
             aka: 'My Online Novel!' :D

Notice the LACK of any fanciness and 'buy it now' buttons. THAT is because this site is ONLY meant to be a static back up and pricing info to what I use youtube to show MUCH better...and that is the MOVING reality and process that is screen printing. 

There were NO websites or internet when we put men on the moon. So a website is NOT the 'end all / be all'. Many of us know that...many of us do not. There are many who know little to nothing about SP...but spend a whole LOT of time aiming a website at you. Surfing websites is not screen printing. Some surf 'them all' and STILL never get started! I would bet that as many as buy based on websites...there are 'as' many who come away even more confused by all of it. Many have even told me so.

  
My Equipment is just like me...Not much to look at, but HONEST and it WORKS GREAT!! :D
(I got the 'Tall'...but when god was handing out the 'Dark and Handsome'...I had already left, to go screen print something.)


I'm only here to keep the ink off your fingers and YOU on the right track regarding screen printing
        REALITY
otherwise...I am happy to shut up and print my own jobs. I am a printer first.

Technology may offer more ways to connect and 'impress'...but the actual 'hands on'truths of screen printing have not changed  a lot since the 70's! If you don't learn in 2012, what I needed to learn starting in 1979...you will not get far. Some of the 'techno-based-youngsters'(Wow! I am now old enough to use that word!! :D )feel the need to insult my website because I do not pet them with all their virtual eye candy addiction requires. Not trying to.
 
What they do not realize is that a website at BEST is VIRTUAL representation and NEVER the reality.  You won't be screen printing with a website!  

My best RC plane flying buddy is 87 years LE (life-experienced). Since I am 54...that means he could my dad(R.I.P.)! And maybe I am old enough to be YOURS(wanna foot RACE!?).  But that is not the issue...
                         
                      Experience is!

As much as I know(a LOT)about RC planes and building/flying. HE knows more and THAT was and is true regardless of any RC companies or forum web page I, he may go to or use now and then. 
I value Oscar for his EARNED/SEASONED knowledge, ability and great personality/sense of humor. He was building/flying planes from scratch long before all the newbies(me as well at one time)were ordering RTF(ready to fly)planes off the internet. 

He even had to dodge the plane attacking ALLIGATORS in Florida!  You fly too low over a marsh or  lake and TOO BAD FOR YOUR PLANE! No Steve Irwin(R.I.P.)to get the plane back!
What one needs to know to fly an RC plane WELL is the same in 2012 as it was 40-50 years ago! The internet did not change that ONE bit.

Those who think time on website makes them a pilot(or screen printer!), are in for a horrible crash...which the pretty website they purchased their plane from will NOT save them from.  Exact parallel to getting involved in screen printing; doing it right. Time...Experience...connecting with those who REALLY know what is up. Web site designers are EVERYWHERE! They contact ME all the time :D :D.  I WANT my site to be simple and so totally UNdeceiving.
 
Tools can NEVER replace skills earned via time and practice(equals experience) ...attention and work makes the difference between those who STAY and those who WALK AWAY.

                         
Screen Printing is a process and NO amount of webpage design and 'click here to buy this' buttons can change the fun and challenging truths of that.

Fancy Websites are too often designed to sell products ONLY; not necessarily represent or lead you through the reality. When it is you and the ink and the tees...you will either know what you are doing...or not. You will be developing the skills to enjoy it and produce quality...or not.

Which is why I am NOT 'YUDU'!!!!! Nor offer any advice to(many ask me) owners of 'such', or other systems i am TRYING to save YOU the hassles of. The best you can do with that is the equivalent of 'painting a pig' IMO. I am and honor REALITY in SP...the OPPOSITE of the 'YUDU trap' and others along that line. I cannot turn chalk into diamonds. When and if you take the step into SP with me, I honor that today AND tomorrow with real ethics and REAL answers.

     Equipment Versions Available:
                                       (below)

            
                       'The Special'
         
                  -more details on the Options/Pricing page-


                               'The Special' 

 (Screen and Squeegee not included. 'Special' posed with a rack...which is not part 
of the 'Special', but an available option. Please refer to Options/pricing page for details.)

 As of 02-07-2012 the formerly titled 'Basic Kit' is no longer referred to as the 'Basic Kit'(for those who have been here before), but  'The Special'. 


                        'The Special' or the 'Basic Kit'??? 

...features the  differences of having a Platen Base with a rear foam spring and swing out off contact bars. These negate the need to attach a front micro-tuner and off contact lifts to each of your screens...as must be done on 'the Basic Kit'.
 
If you think you will be setting up many(over three color) multi-color jobs in the future...this could be a strong consideration for the convenience of having PRESS based off-contact, and the rear spring, negating the need for a fifth/front M-T.
 
It is only a matter of what you think will best serve your practical considerations, based on what YOUR needs of a press are.  You CAN upgrade your 'Basic Kit' later by buting the platen base as a separate/optional piece IF you later desire the convenience it affords. However, it is just as smart to skip that added expsense up front...if you are NOT certain that you will be printing enough /screens to make it worth the additional expense. 'If you are not running a race...you do not need track shoes! You may only need a great pair of sandals!'

All components are environmentally friendly in mfg., as it requires no aerosols or solvents in production. I use high quality urethane clear satin to seal all the edges and natural wood areas. The white pieces are Melamine which looks nice/tough(more heat resistant than spendy formica platens!) and  easy to clean.  

(Corex Counter Shield color will be BLACK or RED. Your choice or it can be either  by default). 




 Either(The Special' and the 'Basic Kit')have the same stellar registration performance, made possible by the on-screen micro tuning I developed back in 1990. (REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU MAY HAVE HEARD BY PRETENDERS ELSEWHERE)THAT is why some want to copy it! THAT is how good it is! Evenso, the best registration alone does NOT make one a screen printer. Right tools AND right skills(require right teaching) can.


                    ----see Options/Pricing page for  more info---
                             
Thanks again for your time and consideration in watching my videos and listening to the (sometimes hard) truths about SP and getting into it. I'm not here to take candy from 'babies'...but to replace natural ingnorance(we all have it at the start) with savvy that can make your SP start and progression better. I've met people that had the right approach to SP and got kocked out of it due to not having met the person(equipment/teacher)with the right approach. That should never be the case...but it OFTEN is!
 
                             
THAT is why I am up front about it all NOW. For both our sakes.

               
                    'Happy Screen Printing!'
 
(It SHOULD BE!...'Enjoy the flowers AND LOOKOUT for the SNAKES!')

  (the guy whoHAS the ideas; REAL experience; DOES have extensive knowledge on how to use the equipment to benefit YOU with...not stealing ideas and making excuses for lacking knowledge! )                            

-All phases of screen printing since 1979; from employee to shop manager(in other shops...before I worked for myself)I have printed on just about anything that can be printed on...from tees/all garments, to very technical gauges to BRICKS!!!


*Building MORE accurate screen printing equipment since 1990!
       Personally built over 3,200 screen printing set-ups. (THAT IS A LOT OF SCREEN PRINTING PRESSES! That is a LOT of dedication!!)
