My favorite part was the prayer before they started print :)

We do a sacrifice to the screenprint gods every morning.

Probably better printing then a lot of printers still.
-
what's interesting in the video is that despite the lack of technology, they have the operations dialed in. Everybody seems to know what to do and is doing it pretty efficiently. The employees (at least for the video) are not slacking off and flailing around. They seem to be all business!

That's funny!!
-
Another shop doing "great" all over prints.....LOL...
-
Doing a whole lot with very little, and we spend tens of thousands of dollars over here on equipment to print a 1.95 T-shirt, my hats off to them.
-
Definitely impressive craftsmanship but I hope all that ink they are washing off outside is not hazardous crap. Being India chances are it is.
-
That was really impressive. Thanks for sharing.

There's a place near my shop that prints Victorian era wallpaper exactly like that. In an old armory building.
They use a squeegee though and hand it off over the table, as opposed to that magic roller thing.
Wanted to take the shop there on a field trip but they apparently stopped doing tours.

I just happened across it by accident. Didn't have to think twice whether (or where!) to post it.
I'm often guilty of instinctive American thinking that we are pretty darned smart. These things put me in my rightful place in the universe.

Just think how much faster they could set up jobs if their screens were tensioned properly :). I doubt there is much concern on properly disposing their waste.

Just imagine the size of the Tensioning Table. Could you imagine the warp in the frames if they were tensioned to 30N
-
The frames would need to be made from structural steel to keep them from bowing.
-
Then they'd be so heavy they couldn't pick them up.
You can see the mesh release "lagging" as they pick up the frames. Tight registration seems impossible, but it is what it is.

My first introduction to screen printing was printing yardage on long tables with waterbased inks, using a T-Square, and hand-positioned-and-steadied frames printing repetitive designs designed so that we didn't need really tight registration.
It is not uncommon for those without a press in some other countries to print some pretty cool multicolor shirts by merely hand positioning subsequent screens by eye

I think I am going to try to stand on my pallets and smooth my shirts out with my foot this week.

Just for fun – let’s compare efficiencies :
Let’s say we are printing an image of 16” x 20” @ 50 dozen an hour = 16” x 20” x 50 x 12 = 192,000 square inches / 144 = 1333 square feet.
It appears that the printing table was around 6 foot x 30 feet = 180 square feet
Can they do 7.5 of those an hour? I’ll bet they get close to at least half of that as they have several tables readied.

You do that - and call us when your done. We're stocked up and ready!

Was that a hockey puck? I couldn't see it close enough to be sure.
-
I wonder what their off contact is.
-
Off contact? With waterbased inks on fabric, we don't need no stinkin' off contact!
-
Their color count is only limited by the amount of screens they have. Pretty impressive!
