HOW DO I MAKE THEM
1. THE FILM IS DRAWN FREE HAN DRAWING FROM AN ARTIST. THE SCREEN IS COATED WITH EMULSION. PLACE THE COATED SILK SCREEN IN THE
DARKROOM FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS. WHEN IT IS DRIED, PUT FILM UNDER THE SILK SCREEN. TURN ON THE LIGHT FOR FEW MINUTES UNTIL
THE SILK SCREEN IS READY FOR IT.
2. THE POSITIVE IS EXPOSED TO ULTRA VIOLET LIGHT. THEN THE EMULSION IS WASHED FROM THE IMAGE AREA USING COLD WATER. ANY EXCESS
EMULSION MUST BE SCRAPED FROM THE SCREEN. PAPER IS NEXT POSITIONED ACCURATELY UNDER THE SILK SCREEN READY FOR HAND PRINTMAKING.
3. THE SILK SCREEN AND THE PAPER MUST BE PROPERLY ALIGNED IN THE FRAME BEFORE THE PRINTING PROCESS, KNOWN A "PULLING", CAN BEGAN.
4. INK IS DRAWN ACROSS THE SCREEN WITH A RUBBER SQUEEZE. THE SCREEN IS PRESSED DOWN CAREFULLY BY THE SQUEEZE, SO THE INK PRINTS.
5. THE WET PRINT IS CAREFULLY REMOVED. IT IS STACK IN A DRYING RACK IN FRONT OF A FAN OR BLOW HEATER.
