Wanting to start screen printing - product questions

Post by DarkFairy »

Hi everyone :)

I'm on a 3 month break before I go back to college, and I wanted to start screen printing some t-shirts, but I don't know how to exactly... I havn't bought any equipment - and i'd like to do 1 or 2 colour designs (not big, probably 10x10 max.).

I watched the Make Magazine Learn how to screen print your own t-shirts, on YouTube http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee_8IMx0uMo

I also watched Roger Jennings' videos, which were helpful.
But all videos and websites I have found so far are American and list products/shops that I don't have access to in England.
So, my questions are about products available in England...
What emulsion, preferably easy to use, do you recommend?
And ink?

Also, any tips you could share would be great!
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

there's a magazine "printwear and promotion" Datateam publishing - they are UK based, find their website to find dealers in UK

they do a show every year, lots of UK suppliers there
