I OWN A SKATE COMPANY AND I AM SICK OF HAVING OTHER PEOPLE DO THE SCREEN PRINTING FOR ME! DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY A SCREEN FOR SKATEBOARDS AND WHAT KIND OF INK DO I USE?
THANKS, PAUL INFO@ANNEXSKATEBOARDS.COM
I never thought of myself as an "amatuer", or as a professional for that matter. I'm just an ordinary person who has been making a living in the membrane switch/graphic overlay market (automotive and appliance specific) for the past 18 years. I've set-up 4 screenprint facilities from concept to production (that includes "figuring how to use it"), ISO and QS 9000 registration, and all that "good stuff". My reply to Mr. Hartmann was just common courtsey extended to another member of our industry.
Rocky im sick and tired of listening to people like you saying bull to people who are trying to learn. I myself and many others would like to know how to do screen printing. So stop making fun of him and keep it to yourself.
You can't "buy" screens for sk8 boards, you'll have to make them yourself. Who ever screen prints your boards has probably put alot of time into figurin' it out. I know I have. That's gotta be worth some loyalty...or at least respect.

Wanting to learn is one thing, we all will teach anyone who wants to know. But to think the information can be communicated over this meduim is silly. Especially after we have put in decades of honing our craft with all the problems associated with it. That us what Paul is saying I think.
The best (and only) way to learn, is to be an apprentise, and learn from a master printer.

I run a screen printing business, and I'm sick and tired of people who think they can fix their car because they don't like their car mechanic. Or how about the person who thinks it shouldn't be that hard to replace the roof on their house (how dare they charge that much money for just throwing some tiles on your roof, right).
Wait a minute, I know, it's those doctors thinking they're the only one's who can operate on a person, please how hard can it be to take out a kidney or something.
