Place the system screen with the Yudu emulsion side down and squeegee down, applying pressure to your screen print. Remove the Yudu platen with the shirt still on it and let it air dry for around 15 minutes. Take your shirt off the screen printer platen and hang the shirt to air dry for approximately 2 hours until the ink is dry. When the ink dries, tumble dry with a medium heat setting or iron the designs with a cloth over them. The screen printing equipment and accessories remove the hassle of hunting down compatible accessories for your printing machine from store to store.
When you are burning the emulsion to the screen, you cannot reuse the emulsion once it has been applied. However, you can use it as many times as you would like to print the same image.

Sure, the Yudu kit comes with a squeegee, but to be honest, it's not a very good one. Our professional grade squeegee will make a night vs day difference for you. If you don't get this squeegee with your Yudu, you'll wish you did. While the Yudu comes with a 2oz bottle of Black ink, it doesn't go very far. We've included enough ink in this package to print hundreds of shirts.
Prints brighter on dark colored fabrics and is easier to use than the Yudu Brand ink. This Adidas T-shirt is the same as that worn by the players during their post-game locker room celebrations. The Yudu is cool for very low quantity print runs and especially one color designs. It is a well designed hobbyist consumer product. Let's take a look at some of the reasons I would NOT recommend this product for anyone wanting to seriously screen print tee shirts for profit and start a business:.
The Yudu only prints 1 color at a time with 1 shirt at a time. This means if you want to print multiple colors, you will need to print the first color, remove the screen and then have a second screen ready to put on the Yudu machine and print the second color. This poses problems in that you have to remove the first color screen and then get the second in the machine so it will print in registration with the first.
The Yudu machine is just not designed to print multiple colors and the system they provide to do so is very sloppy not to mention time consuming.
Screen printing tee shirts for profit is all about volume and numbers. The faster you can produce a high quality product with minimal effort, the more money you will make selling that product. The Yudu comes with a very small 11"x14" print area screen and does not even include a professional squeegee. The screen is 15"x19" in total. The screen is very flimsy and unstable and when it comes to squeegees, the people at Yudu have a lot to learn.
The package comes with water based inks which are the hardest inks you could choose to work with as a beginner. The entire system is so time consuming that you will find your inks drying in the screens as you try to print.
Not to mention the fact that their line of colors is very limited. The system uses capillary film which can be difficult to work with as a beginner.
Problems with adhesion, exposure, and removal are common with this unit.
