No I don't. Sorry.

Make sure your screen is clean before you start (especially if it's new)...that should prevent the bubbling.
If your image isn't burning completely it could be because the lines are too thin. Thick lines work best. -
I won a large format Epson printer. :) Love it!

When I was a teen I loved accessories (& still do!!)...teens might love to create things for their hair, jewelery, personalized clothing/shoes, etc. You can check out my site for some ideas that may spark your imagination: erinbassett.com

You might be able to salvage some of it & it's certainly worth trying. I'd just proceed & see if it will work...worst case scenario you know what not to do. ;)
-
Do you PhotoShop? If so you can make your designs on there with PhotoShop brushes....http://www.designerdigitals.com has some great ones (that's where the winged heart came from on my 1st shirt).
-
I use either blue painter's tape (light colored shirt) or masking tape (dark colored shirt) to add guide marks to the shirt so I can line it up correctly.
Since it's usually pretty dry weather here in SoCal I only wait a few seconds before removing it from the platen. It's still wet, but I'm careful. If you platen is new (& really sticky) you might want to wait a couple of minutes just in case.
Happy Yuduing! -
With the Yudu you have to save the emulsion on the screen and store it some where safe (ie:that it won't get rubbed up against).
-
I'll put it on my to-do list. :)
-
Michael's and other craft stores carry them, or you can buy then directly from @Provocraft: http://www.cricut.com/shop/#1/54/0/3/Cuttlebug/

I assume your asking about the Yudu? Check out my blog to see how it works & see a lot of the projects I've made with it. erinbassett dot com

It's on my to-do list! :)

Thanks! Glad I could help. :D
-
It may be due to your design...or it could be the pressure you're using (needs to be a consistent even pressure across the squeegee).
-
If you're using different colors you'll want to wait so you don't mess up the color you did for your 1st layer....it doesn't take long to let it dry, so I haven't found it to be a problem.
-
Transparencies from the office supply store will work, just get the correct ones for your printer. If I'm just doing a single color design I put my printed on transparency right on the glass to make my screen, otherwise I put the printed on transparencies on registration panels and put them on top of the glass.
-
You're welcome Linda! Glad I could help. :)
-
You could be applying too much pressure. Also, make sure your screen is 100% dry before starting to print. If you're printing on paper use the 220 mesh screen too.
-
If you take care of your screens (ie: don't scrub them really hard) you can use them for a really long time. I have some screens that I've never taken the emulsion off because I use them most often and they are still holding up fine. After you use your screen just rinse the ink off & let it dry. When you're absolutely sick of that design & your ready to remove the emulsion just squirt the emulsion remover on it, let it sit for a min. then rinse it off.

You can only resize images smaller with out causing distortion. If you're familiar with Photoshop I'd recommend using vector images or brushes that are created with high resolutions. You can do a Google search for them. Good luck!!
