WOW!
I don't even know where to start. Anybody not watching this is missing out.

Thank you Richard and Scott for taking the time to record and post this.

good stuff!

[Dottonedan]

Wow!  That was loaded with good info.  I took notes on the favorite emulsions.

Leave it to Richard for sending me back in time. Charlie Leach was indeed quite a pioneer but he grew weary of our side of the industry. Keep in mind we were (at the time) small potatoes. Rotary printers purchased; as they continue to do so, WB products in drums with pigments in five gallon containers. Since rotary printing is a high speed enclosed process, the drying in the screen issue was not an issue the chemistry was troublesome for the lowly t-shirt folks. Companies like Pavonine (with a whopping 24 or so pigment offerings), Spectrochem, Manoukian, and others tried diligently to reinvent themselves to cater to our market but for the most part failed. The huge rotary factories employed professional colorists to develop color recipies. No PMS software so the colorists were well paid. So we had problems with the ink performing well without special attention and were left on our own with regards to making colors.
Meanwhile, back at Precision Screen Machines in a clandestine operation located off site, we were mixing up drums and fives; using voodoo chemistry to concoct WB/DC potions used on our belt printers and ovals, as well as a top secret textile spraying department.. I helped formulate color and the recipies were kept in a notecard file. Back then we had literally no outside help. I was in my early twenties and bold enough to try stuff out and see what happened  .BTW many do not know that the first puff products were WB. Plastisol versions surfaced later.
Two decades past and little had changed. Many wanted to embrace WB technology however (largely due to lack of application knowledge from distributors) they often ran away screaming. Those of us who had  quietly figured out the nuances and developed solutions generally kept a low profile. This frustrated many "experts". Theories with regards to mesh tension, off contact, shear characterstics, flashing, art prep, etc were vastly different. Distributors often advised customers to print WB with mesh no higher than 110 tpi due to fear of the ink locking up in the screen and receiving backlash from the printers. How times have changed.
BTW Richard, if you're reading this, Angie was last known to be working at New Buffalo (now Gildan) in the Honduras facility.
Take care Buddy

In for checking this out later.

I wish there were more videos just like this.

[3Deep]

Agree, I saw a little just haven't had the time to see it all the way thru

I need to find time to watch, maybe tonight on the iPad... Tony's mentioned puff being WB, that was the first stuff we used too, got it from a curtain manufacturer, it's how they did brocade. Our first puff job was in braille, it said "If you can read this, you're too damn close". I remember it went down thin, and puffed great...

My first puff that worked was Sericol water-based in 1980, before they hard good distribution in the USA. Friends of mine from Aruba ordered it, then reshipped it to the USA. There was some sort of embargo on direct from UK shipments.

Terry Kaiserman and I were walking the Paint Show in Philadelphia, in ?1985? when we stumbled on Pierce & Stevens of Buffalo promoting their expanding microspheres.


Terry guided me through my W-B learning curve in 1982, but I stopped making puff when J & S INK COMPANY started selling it.

Richard your old. 

Its nice to hear some of the old stories about the industry. I have only been practicing screen printing since 2008. I am still learning. Thanks for the info.

[RichardGreaves]

You're telling me!
