Page 25 - SCREEN PRINTING FOR BEGINNERS

Direct/indirect film products require a coating of direct emulsion. Then
the film can be adhered to the face (substrate side) of the screen. One
method is to coat the screen (one stroke on each side of the screen) then

place the screen (squeegee side up) on the film (emulsion side up) and
stroke the squeegee side of the screen with a low pressure stroke with a
soft squeegee. (Fig. 9) The use of newsprint on your work surface will help
with clean up.
Stay consistent and you will be able to predict your results with greater
accuracy. Your goal should be consistency, predictability, and
repeatability.
