Screen Printing - Printing

Picture
It's time to print. It can be a very messy process, so you definitely want to wear an apron when you print. There are quite a few steps and you can find them on this handout. The best advise I can give you is to work quickly, keep the squeegee practically straight and everything should be fine. Even if they aren't all turning out, that's nothing to worry about. You are printing two dozen copies and only need to have 5 good prints. Also, when cleaning up the ink, do not use water. The ink is not water soluble so you will have to use the thinner in the red plastic bottle to cleanup. Good luck!

The video below will explain the process of cleaning up. To clean after printing you'll want to use solvent, newspaper and paper towels... not water!
