They will have the special equipment to output the film which we cannot have. You should find a film output company that can do this in your local area. We (and you) cannot do this job by ourselves. If you want to have the best screen making result, you should learn how to output the film. This can make a better result when exposing the screen. That is because we want the image darker. Then cut and paste the two images together, over lapping exactly. You should print two copies of the same images at the same time. You can buy tracing paper in art supply stores and they are usually used for on pencil sketching. You should set your image on black colour and print on tracing paper. You can print your image by using your own ink jet or laser jet printer. There is one way to make the image film by yourself. You can put back the used emulsion in the bottle for using the next time. Then you can dry the screen easily even though it is a big size screen. Then you may use hair drier for drying, or you can put a heater in a small room with the coated screen. Do this at least 2 times for the both side of the screen. You should pour the emulsion in the scoop and then coat from the bottom to the top evenly. Because we will be coating both sides of the screen, the scoop should be at least 1 inch smaller than the screen frame width. To do this job you should have a emulsion coater (scoop). The next step is put the mixed emulsion on the screen evenly. The mixed emulsion colours are different from manufacturers, no worry about the colours. When the mixing job is finish close the bottle cap firmly. Finally when you are mixing the emulsion, you should be in dim light room, but not necessary in the dark room. Moreover the diazo liquid is light sensitive, so that two empty bottles should be in dark colour, no light can go in. If you want to keep longer time, you may put the mixed emulsion in the refregiator. The mixed emulsion will become dark yellow colour. One for dissolving the diazo powder and one for the emulsion mixing. So before you are going to mixing the sensitive emulsion, you should prepare two opaque empty bottles. You should use warm water to dissolve the powder first. Moreover the diazo sensitizer always comes in powder from. The mixing ratio is 10 parts emulsion : 1 part diazo liquid (approximate is okay). So you don't need to mix the whole bottle at one time. That is because after mixing you can only keep for 2 weeks to 1 month. This mixing job is always mixed by yourself. This emulsion is mixed from white emulsion and diazo liquid. Step 3 Mixing the sensitive emulsion ( video)īefore the exposure we should prepare the light sensitive emulsion. If you are in a rush, you may use the hair drier to dry up the screen. You should lean the screen against a wall vertically. That will make some lint to stick on the screen. Please don't use towel to dry the screen. Then you should use water to wash the screen. You can use normal dish cleaner to clean the screen. However before the exposure you should always clean the screen frame first. Not necessary to prepare the stretched screen mesh immediately before the exposure. You can store the stretched screen frames for long time before exposure. If you want to buy these products, please contact us. We hope you saw the video below and can understand the concept easily. You can glue the screen mesh on screen frames smooth and cleanly, without mess. And the adhesive glue is also special for screen printing. If you have this product you can do the stretching job by yourself. In our demo video we are using our own custom-made nail bars screen stretcher. If the stretched mesh is too loose, the colour ink may still stay stuck on the screen after you lift up the screen. We should stretch the screen mesh as tight as possible. The first step is learning how to stretch your screen mesh on the wooden frame or aluminum frame. For more information please click the button below to find more details. We have prepared a combo package in which everything is included. This can help us to do the work smoothly and to avoid mistakes. In order to do the procedure smoothly, you should prepare the following equipment first. The steps for photo stencil aren't complicated, you just need some simple equipment.
