Hi, this Mark Kneeskern, on behalf of Expert Village. And in this clip I'm going to show
you how to apply paint or ink to your screen, for screen printing. Once you've taken your
design and placed it onto the back of the screen, you lay that down on your shirt, or
whatever fabric you are using. And then you begin to dab paint onto the screen. You can
use a variety of colors, or you can use just one color. And keep in mind the color of the
shirt will somewhat determine what color you want to use for ink. If its a darker colored
shirt, you'll want to use a really dark ink, probably black. If its a lighter colored shirt,
you can use all kinds of different colors. You can do stripes, you can do blending, just
dot the different colors of paint where you want the colors in your design. Then wipe
it across with your squeegee. Yea, and that is how you apply paint to your screen for
screen printing.
