Pull the paint down the screen using a medium pressure. If you press too hard the design will be smudgy. If you don’t press hard enough you will have bare areas. Only pull the paint in one direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can make multiple pulls as long as it is in the same direction as the first pull. A back and forth motion will cause smudged prints. Too many pulls can cause a smudged print. A little practice and you will have perfect prints!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach screen can be used for hundreds of prints as long as the paint doesn’t dry in the screen. This can happen in an instant in hot weather. I suggest that you keep a pan of rinse water near where you are working. Cleaning the screens is as simple as running them under water. Dry with a soft cloth. When dry you can stack them on top of each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe screens are created with a thermofax screen imager. These machines predate copiers and are hard to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopyright info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse my imagery in your own artwork without any limitations.
