If you haven't read my first post, the goal of this blog is to create an easy-to-understand online resource for people who want to learn to screen print. I plan to do this by creating a series of posts called "Screening 101" that will walk you through each part of the process step-by-step.
Below is a list of planned posts for the Screening 101 series. This list will probably be revised many times as I figure out what really needs to be covered. In the future I plan to convert each list item to a link once that post has been completed, so hopefully you can use this as an index if you are trying to read these posts in sequence.
So here's my first draft table o' contents for Screening 101:
- The Gear You Need to Get Started
- Creating Your Artwork
- Preparing the Screen
- Applying Photo Emulsion to the Screen
- Exposing the Screen
- Wash Out
- Printing
- Clean Up
- Screen Reclamation
Ok, just looking at that list you've probably already figured out that screen printing has a significant number of steps and is pretty detail oriented, BUT DON'T WORRY, it is not as hard as it seems! We're going to go through this step by step, hopefully with a bunch of pictures, and make this into something that anyone can do.
Remember, this is supposed to be an open-forum, constantly-evolving tutorial, so if you have questions at any point feel free to leave them in the comments so everyone can learn together.
Alright, let's get started!
