If you print the screen as a hobby, you may have tried various methods to create your stencil. So that the Internet has become popular method is filling the screen. In essence, the screen will fill method is to paint an image on a screen using a load that dries and turns into your template. A Having created the template, the screen is used in the same way as always with the screen print: Place in the material, the ink is loaded into the screen and a brush rubber is used to push the ink through it. Wherever the holes in the screen have not been painted over, it creates the image.
While some consider that can fill the screen simple and cheap, there are several drawbacks:
1.It is very boring, so many shows this method involves less detailed, easy art.
2.When you make a mistake filling of paint, can be very aggravating to try to correct.
3.It is tedious. It takes time and is laborious.
4.Si you want to play the display, you have to do all the process again and will never be exactly the same.
5.Line work and the type of small amounts almost impossible. Imagine trying to paint centers of letters like "e" and "A" or a long straight.
Fortunately, there another method to create templates in screens that resolves all five of the above issues, and also relatively cheap on a screen by: the method using a photographic emulsion sensitive to light.
Basically, the photographic method is to fill all the holes in the screen of a photographic emulsion (also known as coating of the screen). The emulsion is simply poured into a scoopcoater then dragged across the screen, creating a barrier almost as thick as a few sheets of paper. When the coating dries, it is ready for submission.
Then a film is made with the desired image. The film has of two parts, the light blocking part and the transparent part. The movie is exactly like the final print will look, except it is black and clear.
The film acts as a barrier to light exposure the emulsion with light. Because the emulsion is sensitive to light and becomes more resistant when exposed to water. After exposure, the screen cleared, and the unexposed parts washing. The image of the film becomes the pattern on the screen, allowing the ink to pass only when the image is. The films are generally made of transparent paper over a bit like tracing paper or acetate sheets specifically coating that can be printed with one cartridge of the inkjet printer.
Although some types of photographic emulsions, capillary films including, diazo, photopolymer, and dual-curing photosensitive emulsion that is probably most useful for the type of printer you might consider filling method screen is the hardening of double emulsion. The reason why the double cure is an adequate substitute, because if someone using the screen to complete the method most likely want to make an impression in the short term if used water-based inks (less than 1000 units), they want to do a screen quality that can be recycled, and they want fewer steps as possible to create the screen with less cost.
Screens with emulsion coating photographic process is quite quick and painless once you get the hang of it. Although there are some good practices and troubleshooting tips that can reduce your learning curve, even without experience So most people to choose quickly. The main disadvantage of the photographic process, then you need a light source to expose your screen. Fortunately, with the right setup, you have a variety of options including the sun.
