Late Wednesday the UPS driver dropped off this huge box containing my latest acquisition via HSN (and their dreaded FLEX PAY and FREE SHIPPING--still just under $300 with tax!). My only "saving grace" is that I have 30 days to try it or return it for a full refund!
I also ordered extra paints and they arrived on Thursday. So with Hubby's help I got it out of the box late yesterday, fully planning to get "rolling" first thing on Saturday (today). Well, after several delays I finally got started.
Step 1: Create design and make transparency--very easy, went well!
Steps 2 & 3:Prepare Screen and Apply Emulsion to Screen--sort of scary, I hate to waste any of these expensive supplies--but all went well EXCEPT THAT I FORGOT TO REMOVE THE PLASTIC FILM prior to the next steps!!!
Steps 4-6: Adhere transparency to Yudu, Expose Screen--I had to repeat step 6 after I had forgotten to remove the plastic film, but the exposure WORKED!
Step 7: Wash and dry screen--easy peasey--let's screen print!
Step 8: Print screen--other than having ink all over ME, this step was relatively easy considering I was working on small sized pet tees!
Here's my results (still drying) of my VERY FIRST ATTEMPT AT SCREEN PRINTING WITH THE YUDU!!

I thought about buying one of these machines. But, I feared that I'd make a huge mess. The shirts are adorable. You did a great job!
I tried out the same machine thru HSN and really did so much better than I thought I could! Your t's look wonderful! Anita from OTC :)
AWESOME! the huzz and i are seriously considering a yudu for when we get back into screenprinting, it's great to see it in action - thanks so much for sharing!
WOW! I like them :-)
Great job and thanks for making me smile!
Great job. Love to see innovation at work :)
How do you like the Yudu? I have pondered getting one but am not sure about how messy it might be and with a 3 year old and a 4 year old in the house - it might be a bit much.
Your shirts turned out great!

So glad to read this! I've been trying to learn more about the Yudu, but it just seems like so many steps! Nice to see it in action!
I love it - if I was still on the road flea marketing I would have to have one!! I agree, cooool! Your pup is adorable.
