Bronwyn, I have tried several different magazines, but old National Geographics are the only thing that works. It has something to do with the ink that they used back in the 80's. I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to rip them up. It was so interesting going back and reading articles from 25 years ago. I wrote a little about Citra Solv on my blog. http://procrastinationrehab.blogspot.com/2012/10/citra-solv-cleanse...

I think you just have to try Bronwyn. From what I have heard though, Nat Geos are the thing to use.

Can the Citra Solv be used on junk mail, or is it just old National Geographics? I have some old ones, but can't bring myself to pull them apart -- the written word is just as important to me as visuals, and they have memories attached to them.

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
