Great starter kit for anybody interested in learning how to screen print. The included DVD goes through the techniques and shows you exactly how its done. Very informative.

Speedball products are obviously quality products and i would reccomend this kit to any beginner.

We were immediately halted in our printmaking process by the fact that the base unit's wooden top bar (which the hinges get screwed on to) isn't even, one end is shorter than the other, so when attached with the hinge the screen won't lay flat against the base board.

The kit was a great price, but not so great a price if we count out the base unit, which was really the main motivator to buy the kit instead of individual supplies. Ah well, bad luck for us.

When I opened the package some of the containers inside did not stay in their position. No big deal, but the photo emulsion remover bottle leaked. If there was no additional damage I would have kept it. What I believe was the tracing paper inside was half turned yellowish as well as the screen to make the "negative". Shipping was free through Prime thankfully. So I will return and probably try to purchase another since other good reviews.

I haven't gotten to use it yet but have watched the video and it all seems to be pretty straight forward and fairly simple to use. I got this before investing a ton of money in a YUDU if this works well for what I want to do with it (I have to buy some more screens) then I may not ever buy a YUDU as this was definetly a lot less money. I never give 5 stars unless a product is SUPER and I have yet to find anything out there that didn't have some kind of con to it. Would have given this 4 1/2 stars though since it comes with everything you need to get started and clear instructions both in the book and the video. Video is also broken down into chapters so you can find exactly what you need.
