    Default Screen printing on vinyl LPs

    Hey, sorry if this has been covered here already but anyone have any pointers for printing on vinyl LPs? Like right on the records on a blank, smooth B side. I've got a 7" that was printed and it looks like water based, just wondering if anyone here has any pointers as far as specific inks to use...thanks!

    I've done it with TW graphics 5000 series wb and it worked well, no adhesion problems.
    To register, cut a circular hole out of a piece of cardboard and nest the record inside it. If the image needs to align with something on the label, mark each record with an adhesive dot. Then rotate to align with a mark on your jig. Not perfect, but good enough.
    Don't try to print anything within 1/4" of the record edge.

    I've done it with Speedball with no trouble, too. I second Dan's circular jig suggestion, I did that too and it worked really well.
