- emulsion onto the screen, both sides
- put the screen screenprint-way up, so any drips that happen will make bulbs on the bottom which touches the shirt, and not on the side you're going to squeegee.
- Develop it: 1 min summer, winter maybe 2 minutes. Put plastic or glass on screen, for weight (you don't want light under the film). And put something around the bottom so no light comes in underneath.
- Blow off the dried emulsion with a garden hose with pressure.

- 110 mesh - guy used 160 but said it was kinda high
- 60 or 65 durometer squeegy
- off contact set
- dishwashing soap
- 285 (140) for 75 seconds
- 350 for 30 seconds
- parchment paper makes the ink look matte and teflon makes it look shiny
- needs to get to 320, she uses 350 (to get ink inside to that temperature) for 30 seconds
- flash dryer is best

Doesn't work on newer Linux because it was designed for Python2 and currently Linux distros are using Python3.
Some guy said, "For 'buntu 22.04 the old legacy gimp-python packages no longer work, Python3 rules.
There is a Gimp appimage launcher that adds python support.
Just updating an old laptop to kubuntu 22.04 / Gimp 2.10.32 from the Panda Jim PPA Only Python3 available.
Goes like this: 50 second demo animation: https://i.imgur.com/fWY3ezt.mp4
Running the appimage unpacks to /tmp before starting Gimp. You can unpack the appimage and run it as 'permanent' installation. Up to the user.
That gets those heal python plugins running with resynthesizer.
Other distros ? Kali is based on Debian testing, maybe the MX-linux version works. Arch ? Too much cutting edge."

Guy who uses this on wood: "We used the 2nd setting and went across each area of the transfer for about 10s. We carefully peel to check that the transfer completely comes off. Once finished we cover with parchment paper and reheat. I’ve heard of ppl putting an epoxy coat afterwards."

Ecotanks. Can the unit be easily power cleaned? The inks will get clogged, and you will do regular (press two buttons and it takes 2 minutes) cleans. Some units also have a Power Clean built into them (so you don't need to do the Power Clean using your computer and software (sometimes not available on Linux). Power Clean uses up to 1/3 of the ink in each tank (waste) and it sends it to the Maintenance Box (which wears out the pads in it), and some units have Maintenance Boxes you can easily remove and swap out for replacements ($10 on some models). When the Maintenance Box gets full (it's smaller on some models) it will give an error message that you can't use the printer anymore (until you replace the Maintenance Box). Check the Maintenance Box for a sticker on it saying its product number, and you can buy these on Amazon (3rd party makers), Espon, etc., and have them ready for when your Maintenance Box clogs. Note that some sellers say their Maintenance Box works for printer models falsely, because some models don't have replaceable boxes. Some boxes don't have a chip, so you can't swap them out for another Maintenance Box with a chip. If there's no chip, you have to call Epson and they give you another code and you enter that in the machine and you can use it for a while more. You can buy codes third party (when Epson stops giving you one).
