Mixing Emulsion & CoatingPhoto Emulsion is a 2-step process where the emulsion has to be 'activated' by adding sensitizer. The goal; coat the screen to thoroughly permeate the mesh without over saturating. | Artwork & ExposureThe most effective artwork has a clear distinction between the black image and the white background. A clean and crisp exposure requires even and accurate pressure between the screen and your artwork. | Wash Out StencilUsing a spray nozzle or hose, apply a forceful spray of water to both sides of your screen until all unwanted emulsion is gone and you can easily see your stencil/image. | Creating Your PrintThe time has come! After all your hard work, it's time to see your project come to life. Place ink at the top of the screen and pull your squeegee evenly to create your print. |
