Pen Kit Set
If you are screen printing as a hobby, you may have tried several ways to create your stencil. One such way that has been popularized on the internet is the screen fill method. Essentially, the screen fill method involves painting an image on a screen using a filler that dries and becomes your stencil. Once the stencil is created, the screen is used the same way it always is with screen printing: it is positioned on the fabric, and a squeegee is used to push ink through it. Wherever the holes have not been painted over, the image is created when the ink passes through the screen.
While some may consider the screen fill method simple and inexpensive, there are several drawbacks:
- It is extremely time consuming.
- When you make a mistake painting the filler, it can be quite aggravating to try to fix.
- It is tedious.
- If you want to reproduce the screen you have to do the whole process over again.
- Line work and small type are pretty much out of the question.
Fortunately, there is another method for creating stencils on screens that solves all five of the above problems, and it is also relatively inexpensive on a per screen basis: the photographic method using light sensitive emulsion.
Basically, the photographic method involves making a film, and using it as a light barrier when exposing the emulsion. The image on the film becomes the stencil on the screen, allowing the ink to pass only where the image is. Films are commonly made of transparencies on a paper much like tracing paper, or on specially coated acetate sheets that can be printed with an ink jet printer.
While there are a few types of photographic emulsions, including capillary films, diazo, photopolymer, and dual cure, the light sensitive emulsion that is probably the most useful to the kind of printer that might consider the screen fill method is the dual cure emulsion. The reason why the dual cure is a suitable substitute is because someone who would use the screen fill method most likely is looking to do a short print run if they are using waterbased inks(less than 1000 pieces), they want to make a quality screen that can be recycled, and they want as few steps as possible to create the screen with as little expense.
Coating screens with photographic emulsion is a fairly quick and painless process once you get the hang of it. While there are some best practices and trouble-shooting tips that can shorten your learning curve, even without much experience most people pick it up quickly. The one main drawback of the photographic process is that you need a light source to expose your screen. Fortunately, with the right set-up, you have a large variety of choices including the sun.
Gary Jurman is the president of http://www.diyTeeShirts.com , a website dedicated to helping artists, hobbyists, and crafters learn about screenprinting. The site features how to screen print tutorials and supplies, including a crash course in screen printing, how to build a screen printing press, and a kit for hacking the Yudu screen by coating it with liquid emulsion.
I am playing an outdoor survival game? Any ideas on what to use to do what? Read below!?
Ok I just started a game- like my plane crashed and I'm the only one alive. I have 1 cloth bag with a first aid kit, pen, notebook, and a first-aid tips book. i also have a long rope, jumprope,1 bowl, a waterbottle, a bowl, and a bucket. I am playing in my backyard. I have a big tree. I have a swing-set but I don't think I should use it. i have a little sand-box and castle I also don't think I should use. I get a flashlight inside when its dark? Any tips on like what I could use to do what? It's boring just sitting their. I need ideas of what to use things for. Like (EXAMPLE) maybe I could use the rope as a rope swing. And I could get some things from inside but not like a bed or so much stuff it takes 2 hours to clean-up. Please tell me ideas. Thanks, LOVE Nicole!
ONLY NICE COMMENTS!
In real life, your priorities are...
- Shelter- where can you go to be safe from insects, animals, and the weather- but still be seen by rescuers?
- Water- you need water to survive. What are you doing for it? You have plenty of storage things, where is the water coming from and how are you making possibly unsafe water safe? (Boiling would be the most common answer.)
- Food- not a high priority in the short term, but it can be a morale booster anytime. Even something like making tea can help!
- Fire- this is a key survival skill. Learning how to make a fire under a wide variety of conditions with an assortment of tools is very helpful.
Some skills you can work on would include (assuming you are old enough, or that they are safe to practice for you):
- Fire-making. Try using some fluffed cotton from your first aid kit, the batteries from your flashlight, and some steel wool, OR a small lighter you had in the first aid kit to sterilize things with.
- Catching bugs. Shine your light on a sheet and see what gathers. Learn what bugs are what and which can be eaten and how.
- Making a shelter. Learn how to make a lean-to, teepee-like structure, etc.
- Make a bed, chair, or other furniture. Learn to lash sticks together to make simple structures.
- Learn which plants in your neighborhood are safe to eat. If you have access to a place where you have permission and know the plants are not exposed to chemical sprays or fertilizers, you might even try gathering and preparing them!
Grab yourself a copy of a good survival and outdoor activities book. The Boy Scout Field Book is OK, but the Boy's Handy Book is my favorite for this.
