Re: Making an Order need advice!!
Well let's start from the beginning of the process till the end.
You will need a image processing software (i.e. photoshop) to adjust, separate colors, use halftones for gradient images.
You will need a good ink jet printer to print to transparencies.
You will need a scoop coater to coat screens with photo reactive emulsion.
Also squeegees, screen tape, access to a hose, and scrub brushes.
You will need a exposure unit or halogen bulb to expose the screens.
Then you need a chemicals kit to degrease, remove ink, and reclaim your screens. Inks of your choice.
Of course you will need a screen printing press and your garments.
Here's a link for the chemicals mentioned above. http://www.franmar.com/shopping/index.p ... ucts_id=55
If you have any questions shoot me an email dizzytoledo@hotmail.com
