beginner with screen printing- need advice
Posted: Wed Jan 01, 2014 6:22 am
Hi there,
I am going to get into teaching myself screen printing so I can print on t'shirts. This means I am need of advice of the best starter kit to get. I don't really want to spend more then $200 at this stage as I am a novice and want to teach myself. Once I learn and get good at it, I would be interested in a more expensive one. Anyway, I have been looking at screen printing kits but I am undecided which ones are the best and which ones are better than others. I came across this one on ebay:
Speedball Ultimate DIAZO Fabric Screen Printing Kit:
Kit Includes:
two 8.5 in x 11 in transparency film
10 in x 14 in screen frame
9 in squeegee
4 craft sticks
4 fl oz black fabric ink
4 fl oz white fabric ink
4 fl oz red fabric ink
4 fl oz blue fabric ink
4 fl oz DIAZO Photo Emulsion
1/2 gram DIAZO Sensitizer
4 fl oz Photo Emulsion Remover
Instructional DVD
Exposure Lamp
9.5 in x 13.75 in black paper
Exposure Chart / Instructions
This NEW Kit includes all the essentials needed for the photo emulsion screen printing process. This method is one of the most exciting techniques of screen-printing because it offers the widest range of possibilities. This method allows for fine line drawings, various lettering techniques and photographic half-tone positives.
Does anyone know if this one does everything that you can do with screen printing??
Does anyone know whether this is a good one to start up with?? or can anyone reccommend one that I should get.
Thanks!
