You could begin by asking yourself…"

Discovering acrylic ink !So, I had to buy this stuff for my course, but had never used it. I didn't expect much, as I used to hate working with ink in highshool and such. But this stuff is GREAT! I loved it, so much fluidity and movement!The only…

Hi everyone!So, I'm pretty new around here and I hope I'm writting this at the right place... Also, please pardon my writting, english isin't my first langage and I'm not that great at it.That being said!I'm taking a painting class this semester. And the very first exercice is a self portrait, or a self representation. I've always avoided painting caracters, especially faces, because I'm scared I won't be able to go beyond the "oh, this was drawn by a 10 year old" level. I don't really *have…See More

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).
