Thanks Wendy... I got the overhead transparency bit... I print out on them a lot for other art purposes. Does the surface on to which the ink is rubbed need any particular preparation... does it need to be any particular material? Does the ink leave the transparency film readily or is there some defitnite method to it? Do you know if it is demonstrated somewhere on a video?

I believe what Gary is referring to is overhead transparency film (like from school). You just print your image directly onto that and then flip the film over onto the canvas and rub it onto that. BAMB!!! No more rubbing off paper :)

I just read down to Gary's comment.. Gary do you leave the image on the film and attach that... or do you remove the film somehow leaving the image? I print on film a lot for other techniques...

Sarah,
gel medium is like glue to adhere images and paper. Gesso is used to cover surface so you can paint on it. Gesso is chalky and gel medium is sticky.

I prefer to use transparency film with my image printed onto it...saves you the effort of having to remove all of the paper pulp from it...but still a nice technique ;)

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).
