with the image burned into the screen, align the screen with the guide image on the rig
(this guide image will be especially important if you are printing multiple layers of ink.)
use packing tape to tape off any edges that might not have emulsion applied to them
(this helps prevent ink coming through the screen in areas that aren’t intended.)
apply ink to the screen in an area that won’t touch the image (top or bottom)
with the screen lifted slightly, swipe a “flood stroke†to apply ink evenly to the screen.
allow the screen to be set down on the paper, and use pressure to “pull†the ink across the screen through
to the paper.
lift the screen and remove your print to let it dry.
*note, if you’re printing on fabric, you won’t use the same type of rig. instead, you can place a piece of
cardboard underneath the layer of fabric that you wish to print on and proceed.
