TeeJay Henry
Screen Printer & EducatorPrint PineshopTeeJay is a screen printer and educator with a passion for water-based ink and the problem-solving that comes with the craft. At Pine Printshop, he works with water-based inks in a production environment on a ROQ automatic press, while also continuing to print water-based manually in his home shop. His experience spans everyday apparel, water-based bandanas, and specialty work where screens, ink, press setup, and curing must work together. His approach is rooted in understanding why a process works—and how small adjustments can resolve what goes wrong.

Why Someone Should Come
Water-based printing rewards strong production systems and exposes weak ones quickly. Ink drying in the screen, inconsistent flood and print strokes, humidity, curing, screen tension, press setup, and operator habits can all determine whether a job runs smoothly or becomes a fight. This session brings the full WB Camp workflow together by focusing on the production decisions that help shops run water-based jobs with confidence.
Who Should Come
This session is for press operators, production managers, shop owners, and experienced printers who want to improve their water-based production flow. It is ideal for teams trying to reduce downtime, run more consistent high-color-count jobs, execute advanced techniques, or build a water-based process that can scale beyond occasional specialty work.
What They Will Learn
- Press Setup for Water Base: Learn how screen setup, flood bars, squeegees, print stroke, off-contact, flash strategy, and press rhythm affect production quality.
- Managing Production Variables: Understand how humidity, ink open time, curing, garment selection, screen condition, and operator habits influence results.
- Advanced Water-Based Workflows: Discover how discharge, high-solids acrylic, and hybrid methods can be organized for efficient production and stronger finished garments.
- Shop-Level Execution: Learn how better communication between art, darkroom, ink room, and press teams creates smoother runs, fewer mistakes, and more profitable water-based printing.
