What are the materials needed in making silk screen photographing printing, and how it is done? Thank you?
* Frame – 10X15, 14X24, … (allow 4+ inches wider and 6+ inches longer that the image that you want to print) – less than $10 * Silk screen material – about 80 to100 threads per inch mesh, depending on the detail that you will have in your pattern. Cost is around $14/yd and I can get 6 larger screens per yard. I prefer monofilament because the mistakes wash out more easily! Once you get the process down and ruin few screens, and, like me, want to keep the successful screens on file, then go with the less expensive multi-filament that doesn’t wash out mistakes well. * Squeegie – Don’t pinch pennies here… pick one that is about 2 inches shorter than the inside width of your frame. Mine is a 3/8 inch thick by 3 inch wide by 12 inch long piece of hard rubber in a wooden holder. (My first one had a small piece of rubber in a plastic holder… now in multiple pieces!) I think that you get by for under $8 on this… but I don’t remember for sure. * Something to hold the frame “in place” re
