Find Best Price at Amazon"For the price, this is a great screen printing kit for beginners. My kit arrived Sunday, two days ahead of schedule... I am lucky that everything arrived safe and sound; no open jars. Went out shopping for a bug light, t-shirt (washed - no softener), pane of glass and had my art printed at FedEx Office. Taped my artwork to the bottom of the silkscreen and held it flat with the glass pane. Lightly sprayed both sides of the silkscreen with water and waited two minutes. Then sprayed water at full blast to remove emulsion."
"This is a very functional beginner's kit."
"Screened a bunch of items with this using the emulsion and the paint on, both worked great!"
"This was a gift so I can't personally attest to how well it works."
"What a great price!!!!"
"I had some trouble with my photo emulsion and burning in the image on the screen."
"This brand was recommended by art teacher."
This 10-inch-by-14-inch screen printing frame features a smooth, hardwood frame securely fastened together. 110 monofilament screen fabric.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I did have an issue using white on these screens but that could be more about my ink and less about the screens. In screen printing you need a lot of screens. So after having these about a week I decided to learned to make my own screens rather than purchase more of these."
"One of the plastic strips that holds the mesh in place on one of the frames did work its way partially loose, which made one part of the mesh loosen a little, but I was able to wedge it back in using a hammer and a thin piece of wood."
"Having a loose fitting screen is a huge no-no in making good prints."
"This is my first screen printing screen, and so far, so good."
"I've been using these types of screens for years and will continue to do so."
"The polyester is a bit cheap making the screen turn whitish gray after a few uses and retain ink (creating shadow images of previous prints) after a few uses but it still functions."
"the screen was fine, but cutting the quantity in half while keeping the price the same and without stating that the original order was no longer available was lame."
"If you are just doing a cute scratchy design on a shirt for grandma this is for you but if you want, clear, clean detail like a semi professional print then forget it."

"This was a cheaper alternative to the actual Diazo."
"My husband uses this alot, we make shirts for our church and we need it alot."
"The design I was using also had some pretty thin lines (few millimeters thick) and the emulsion still worked well enough to print those thin lines."
"This is at least as good as Speedball if not better."
"Very happy with this product."
"It is easy to use and works very nicely."
"Immediately falls off with water."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Meaning, it will spread a THICK coating of emulsion."
"Works best for thinner, waterbased inks."
"Fits well in your hands and pulls very smoothly across screens."
"It works well, but during my most recent project I notice that it seems uneven or warped on one end, leading to uneven pressure on the stroke."
"Does the job and is made well."
"My advice: save yourself some time and money and just go to your local Michael's and pick up the plastic handled, 65 durometer, 9 inch speedball squeegee they have."
"The squeegee was so poorly assembled that it would bind up in their own screen frames."
"I thought that the reviews talking about the blade coming loose were likely just outliers, but mine began to after its very first use."

"Don’t waste money like I did, get something else to sketch with your cameo."
"Love these to put text on the outsides of cards, or to draw on messages for the insides of cards."
"Other than that, this material worked a great variety of surfaces including whicker, canvas, and shirts."
"Didnt know of i had to shake or heat up in a way that makes the ink be more fluid during printing."
"I wanted to add some bling to my jeans, so being an avid Silhouette user, I thought I would give this a try."
"I was sooooo excited about upgrading to the Designer Edition on my Cameo program. Desperate to get it done, I HAND PLACED all of the stones--which took me hours, and made me a bit crazy. For anyone who hasn't already destroyed tons of the flocking material, make sure you adjust your Silhouette settings."
"I spent $ 26.56 and that was the sale price!"

"A good starter set for block printing - I had been using leftover screen printing ink, and wondered what the difference was - this proper block printing ink drys a lot slower, allowing you to squeeze just what you need onto your glass for each pull and keeping the brayer from clogging or drying out too quickly."
"Sure, a good starter set."
"I liked the fact it was a cheap set of inks to experiment with.."
"Me and my children had a blast making Christmas gifts with this starting set."
"We used this to do printmaking with foam printing plates in conjunctions with the Melissa and Doug Block printing paper."
"tubes were smaller than I pictured, but good product."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I have had so much fun with it, I use it commercially and it has produced the most perfect htv applications on shirts, sweatpants, leggings, canvas bags, swimsuits, mouse pads.. You name it! Immediately after pulling it out of it's box I wiped it down with a cloth to remove dust from storage and got it set up on a small sturdy desk. I found that 315 degrees for fifteen seconds is the best standard for all of my applications, it doesn't matter if the vinyl is smooth, flocked, or glitter. Just make sure your garment is as flat and smooth as possible on the bottom mat of the machine and it should turn out great."
"Had it for about 3 years , used it numerous times and still going strong, absolutely no issues."
"I was using a home iron before and was simply not getting good results. This is definitely a lot less effort (with an iron, you have to put a TON of pressure on the vinyl and hold each spot for 10-15 seconds), all you do is clamp it down (low effort) and wait for 10-15 seconds. I have been able to use this to fix the shirts that I made with an iron (even after I washed those iron on shirts), and it worked perfectly- no peeling! This press does come with a heat protective sheet which I would recommend using. I just wheel it back into the closet when I don't need it, and wheel it out when I want to use it. Word of caution: open the windows when you use this, as there is a very pungent chemical smell when you first start using."
"I've had my machine for 2 years and it still works great."
"Please read my entire review as I was disappointmented when I first received my heat press but had a very positive experience getting my concerns addressed with Fancier Studio... when I opened my heat press I was disappointed to find the press covered in a thin layer of dirt/sand."
"I had 50 shirts to bling."
"I was able to get a full refund and had return shipping paid for without a problem, but other people may want to be careful before plugging it in."
