Screen Printing

Process:

1- Tape up around the edges of the frame and any parts of the screen you do not want to print

2- Cover your working area with newspaper

3- Lay your paper you will print onto your table

4- Apply the ready mixed pigments close to the area you want to print but not on the design

5- Ensure someone can firmly hold down the screen

6- Pull the squeegees at 45 degree angle towards you using a firm even pressure

7- Carefully remove the screen from the paper underneath

8- Take you print away and allow it to dry on the drying rack

9- Take the tape off your screen, put any excess ink back into the pot and wash out the screen.


Health&Safety

-  Keep room ventilated

-  Do not inhale the pigments/chemicals

-  Keep the room clean and tidy
