Is screen printing computerized yet? Can we apply our Photo Shop or Corel Draw skills to the screen printing process (without investing in an “automated multicolor inline press system”)?
Oh yes, this is one of the best things to happen to screenprinting in the last 10 years. You can run clear media through inkjet printers or laser printers and produce your positives from your files. No more cameras and chemicals, and very inexpensive and accessible. This goes back to my earlier remark about why screenprinting should be taught more in schools – it is a cheap way to demonstrate the steps it takes to get designs off computers and into print – a skill that most graphic designers never learn in school, yet is key to the entire printing and graphic arts industries. In the modern high end shop, you can now get CTS (computer to screen) systems that actually produce a stencil directly on the screen, with no film or exposure required. Or you can take a laser copy on paper, soak it in vegetable oil, and make a photostencil.
