Where to get information?

People often want to know how to screen print, how it works, and really, how to get started.  The fact of the matter is you’re just going to have to do some research on the subject.  There’s no set standard in the industry and people’s goals and what they plan to do once they begin printing all vary.  Some people want to jump straight in to an automatic while others just want to get their feet wet with a simple one color, one station press.  There are a few places to check out as far as screen printing goes though.  First off Youtube has a bunch of information on screen printing like this video right here.  But the videos on the internet aren’t usually too in depth and sometimes you need more, and for that there are a few really good sites and forums out there.  This site seems to offer a lot of free information, where as this and this forum both have a pretty hefty number of people visiting them daily.  One word on the forums though, just take everything you read with a grain of salt, most of the people answering questions on there are far from anything you would call an expert.
