Screen Printing - Blocking Out
Ink cannot pass through any of the green areas on your screen. Around the outside of your stencil ink can get through, and that's not something that we want to happen. You can use scrap paper and masking tape (preferably the two inch masking tape) to block out those areas so that ink cannot get through. Pay close attention to the edges of the screen and where the paper overlaps.
The video below shows the process of blocking out. Watching it if the handout or demo leave you with questions.
