Silk Screen Stencils
Submitted by Steve on Sunday, 27 July 20082 Comments
Good stencils are key to screen printing, getting all the variables correct for each T shirt printing job is essential. With plastisol inks it has always been about finer mesh counts, T shirt printing using waterbased inks requires a different approach entirely, and the use of both opaque and clear bases gives us a seemingly endless list of possible scenarios. Good stencils on coarse meshes can produce fantastic detail, but every part of the screen preparation process and exposure needs to be spot on, maintaining detail and making the screens resistent to wear and tear is a very fine line.
It is great to see someone using water based inks for screen printing tees, it is really something to be encouraged and from what I have seen (and felt) the results are amazing!
Kudos to you for using water based inks.
Posting compliments on the blog will not relieve you of any of your daily chores, in fact grovelling could land you some serious cleaning duties. How are our new look Advertees graphics coming along?
