Mike, I know the basics of silkscreening in general but do not know how to silkscreen on glass. There are companies out there that will make me the screens as long as I supply the art. My thing is production, I have some designs that I use a lot, right now I cut them out of vinyl and then I take the...

the answer is simple call a digital printing shop, I work with one as I do murals on canvas in my business and a good friend has a roland 64" solvent printer. Here is a pic of a mural that we printed about 2 weeks ago for a job. The images are unbelievable and if your image needs to be blown up...

I got a drawing of the motherboard and internal grounding wires and I attached a coated copper wire to the internal screw where everything else was grounded and then ran that to the aluminum leg of my plotter stand. I can tell you that it took care of 100% of the problem and the machines cut perfect...

Wow Dave, I would love to take a class from you. I was just talking to Sarah King today and you were part of the topic. Sarah told me today about Noel and I think that I am going to have to call him. Thanks and wish I could afford to come to the UK for classes.

Does anyone teach? I am going to keep asking until someone say where to take a class. I want to learn how to screen print on glass. Sarah King is a friend of mine and she agreed to show me how to glue chip next week but I really want to learn as much as I can to take my business to new heights. If y...

Well I talked to Mike and was telling him about this issue and he said I should post it here as well in case any of you have had this issue. I have 2 plotters both Roland and a CutterPros (larger but cheaper) and I have been having problems cutting large artwork as when I get about 1/2 to 3/4 the wa...

Welcome, I too am new but I am not new to the silvering aspect, just the board. Avery Spray Mask is what I use. You would 100% clean the mirror prior to the addition of vinyl and once installed clean the open areas lightly. Do your angel gilding and then back it and allow to dry 24 hours. At that po...

I back almost all my antiqued mirror glass with rust-olium oil based paint (rolled on). So far I have never had a problem with it, but someone told me about 6 months ago about using 1shot insted. My question is (hopefully not too late) to gain my designs I apply vinyl to the back of the mirror rever...

Thanks all, I have been sitting on the sidelines afraid to post on here because you guys are just so seasoned and your work is just so amazing! I am glad I am not going to get shunned for being new to this group. I primarily do antique mirror glass, some with designs or artwork but I have picked thi...

Here is a differnt mirror - same house.

Here is some more...

Hello all, My name is Rob Schramm and I am from Central Illinois, I am new to the site so that thought my first post should be a hello and to introduce some of my work.
