Title: Yudu machine
Post by: Auryn on April 07, 2011, 10:57:04 AM
I was wondering if anyone here owns or has owned a Yudu silk screening machine??
I'm thinking of getting one and would love some first hand knowledge.

Ive been reading all the reviews and tips and tricks online.

I dunno about the Yudu Machine, but I have priced the kits and it may be cheaper to buy a simple kit from richard Blick or Michaels and the hinges and set yourself up on a table somewhere.

I have a scrap tabletop I have my hinges screwed to and it works pretty darn good.

Now if you're in the market for a heavy duty 4 head floor model silk screen machine lemme know.  I can cut ya a deal.  lol  (and no, I'm not kidding)

EDIT:  RICHARD is not supposed to be richard but the filter caught it apparently.  lol Here's the website (if the filters allow it) http://www.dickblick.com/

Hehe I was wondering who richard blick was hehe

i decided not to get it, I found I could get a semi pro set up for $200, so I'm just going to save my pennies and do it right,
thanks tips

Screen printing isn't hard to do, it's just a pain to set up inicially.  I had to screem print a bolt of fabric for classic. Turned out really nice, but it was a pain in the backside to set up to start up, but a breeze afterward.

Man, I remember silk screening in high school.  It's what led me into Graphic design as a major.  That didn' tpan out but I've always had a fondness for the work.
