The Rundown

Night one kicks things off with a welcome happy hour. Good food, drinks, and a chance to hang with other printers before we get into it.

Day two is the full camp experience. We’ll start with some quick introductions and snacks, then jump straight into the station rotations. We’ll break midway for a grilled cookout lunch, then finish out the day with the remaining sessions. There will be time throughout to connect, check out vendors, and talk shop.

If you’ve ever struggled with getting your white ink right, or you just know there’s another level to your printing that you haven’t unlocked yet, this is where it starts.

The Experience

SUPERBASE is an in-person, immersive education event built for screen printers who want to level up their prints at the root of it all… the underbase.

Everything starts with the base. If your white base isn’t dialed, nothing on top of it will be either. This event is focused on helping you print cleaner whites, hold detail, reduce fibrillation, and achieve a softer hand feel across the board. Once you truly understand how to build the perfect base, every print you produce gets better.

We’re keeping this event intentionally small, limited to around 60 attendees, so each station is focused and valuable.

Throughout the day, you’ll rotate through multiple stations led by some of the best in the industry:

  • A darkroom station with Kevin Kauth from SAATI, breaking down proper screen prep, coating techniques, EOM, and dialing in your exposures
  • A mesh deep dive with Frank Binetti from GSF, comparing standard vs thin thread and how it directly impacts your base prints
  • A press-focused station with John Magee from Avient, covering squeegee angle, durometer, pressure, ink control, and everything that affects your white print
  • A reclaim station with Alex Mammoser from Easiway, focused on properly cleaning and prepping screens so your process starts right from the beginning
  • A look at new equipment and tools with Buck Premo and Mike Dolph from ROQ, giving you a chance to see what’s coming and how it fits into your workflow

This isn’t theory. This is real, practical, shop-floor knowledge you can take home and implement immediately.

FAQ

Find the most frequently asked questions below.

  • You'll learn how to properly build and print a white underbase from start to finish. That includes screen prep, mesh selection, exposure, reclaim, and on-press technique. The goal is to leave with a clear understanding of how to get smoother prints, hold detail, and reduce fibrillation.

  • This is built for anyone who is actively screen printing and wants to improve their results. Whether you're newer and trying to figure out why your whites aren't hitting, or you've been printing for years but want to refine your process, this will apply. The screen prep/reclaim, dark room, screen mesh use, work with all printers, John Magee's session on press technique might be geared more towards automatic printers, but a lot of the same principles apply to manual printing.

  • Because it's everything. If your base isn't right, no top color will fix it. Dialing in your underbase improves print quality, feel, and consistency across every job you run.

  • You'll be working in small groups at each station so you can see things up close, ask questions, and actually understand what's happening… not just watch from the back of a room.

  • We're capping it at around 60 attendees to keep the groups small and the training focused. This isn't a packed seminar… it's built to actually learn.

  • Night one is a welcome happy hour with food and drinks. Day two is the full training day with rotating stations, breaks, and a cookout lunch.

  • Access to all training stations, the welcome happy hour, snacks, and a cookout-style lunch during the event day.

  • No. These concepts apply regardless of the type of screen printing equipment you use. Even though this event is at ROQ, these processes work if you have M&R, Anatol, MHM, and more. The focus is on technique, process, and understanding how everything works together.

  • Yes. You'll have access to vendors and get a look at new tools and equipment, including what ROQ has coming out.

  • Training comes first. But you'll also be surrounded by other shop owners and printers, so there will be plenty of opportunities to connect and talk shop.

  • Yes. The small group format makes it easy to ask questions throughout the day, and there will be time between stations to connect with speakers and other printers.

  • Just yourself and a willingness to learn. If you want to bring a notebook or take notes on your phone, that's always a good idea.

  • No. Guests will be responsible for their own transportation to/from the airport as well as from the hotel to the event.
