Passionate about creating. Photo-emulsion Screen Printing - Instructables - DIY, How To, cr. Sometimes you need to your message out quickly and cheaply. How do you print a ton of t-shirts and patches fast? Here's how I did it. This Instructable covers the standard photo-emulsion screen printing process, which is great for printing text or images with fine detail...and at the end, you have your own personally-designed entirely unique prints on fabric, clothing, paper, or whatever else you can get under your screen. The general idea: After stretching fine-mesh cloth over a wooden frame, you spread a thin layer of photosensitive emulsion on the screen and let it dry. You then take a black image on transparent or translucent surface, place it against the screen, and then expose the screen to light.

The light causes the emulsion to harden and bind to the fabric. There are some great Instructables up on the site already for screen printing methods, but there's always room for more. How to Silk Screen has a good overview of the photo-emulsion process. The Official Website of Labelflash™ Digitális ofszetnyomda - Dpress.
