Making the Print
To make the print, spoon the ink across one end of the screen. With the screen lifted
slightly lifted from the base apply an even blanket of ink onto the print area. Be sure
to use an easy, smooth stroke with the squeegee at a slight angle away from you.
This is the flood stroke
Next, drop the screen onto your paper lift the squeegee over the ridge of the ink and
make the print stroke by pulling towards yourself. Keep the squeegee at a 45° angle with enough
pressure to scrape the ink from the screen.
Lift the screen from the print, make the flood stroke, set the kick stand and remove the
print and put it to dry on your rack or line.
INSERT NEW PAPER, THE KICK LEG AND REPEAT THE PROCESS
Sharpe clear prints can be produced provided you use an adequate quanity of ink use the
flood stroke sparingly
For more detailed images avoid the flood stroke and maintain adequate and even pressure on
the squeegee during print strokes
