HEART EDUCATIONAL SUPPLIES 2014 – 2015 www.heart-educational.co.uk Screen printing is a versatile technique that can be used on a variety of materials, but is especially relevant to the textiles industry where it is the most common way of printing areas of colour onto fabrics. Our range is comprehensive, including screens, stencil card and Diazo Stencil Emulsion, plus best-selling water-based textile inks, top quality Printex pigments and acrylic paint which, when mixed with fabric medium, can be used for printing or painting.

These frames are more robust and ideal for heavy use. Screens stay tight for longer ensuring reproducible results. Available in 4 sizes they are pre-meshed in 3 grades of yellow mesh for a higher quality and finer detail of print than our Quality Wooden Screens. Yellow mesh is ideal for photo stencil work because it absorbs more UV light resulting in increased exposure of the stencil and stronger, better defined printed images. If you need sharp definition in your prints then use frames with yellow mesh at the highest TPC you can afford to buy. Please note: yellow mesh needs to be exposed for approx. 25% longer than white mesh but remember, the higher the mesh count the lower the exposure time.

The type of mesh you use depends on the results you want, the type of stencil to be used and the material which is to be printed on. The higher the mesh count, the finer the holes in the screen. Yellow mesh reflects less light during the curing of photostencil emulsion, giving sharper edges. 1,150mm wide.

You can do this using a black marker or by transferring images and text via a photocopier. The solid areas of your design are those that will print. 2) Coat a screen with an Emulsion/Sensitizer mix and leave to dry in the dark. 3) Wash the screen. When exposed to light the Diazo Photo Screen Emulsion hardens. Any areas which are not exposed to light (because they are covered by the design on the film stencil) will remain soft and are washed away. 4) You will be left with a negative stencil image on the mesh and can screen print as normal. For detailed instructions go to the Info & Tips page on our website. Place the film stencil over the screen and expose to a suitable light source.

Just cut your fabric sheet to size and iron the freezer paper onto the reverse. Trim off the excess fabric and your temporarily stiffened sheet is ready to use. Just peel away the freezer paper once work is complete. The sheets are reusable making them very economical. Each sheet measures 216 x 280mm (8.5 x 11”). 225965 Pack of 30 £5.25 Reynolds Freezer Paper is great craft material, plastic coated on one side only so it lightly adheres to fabric when ironed over and can then be removed without leaving a trace.
