PRINTERS
Printing involves the
depositing of ink onto the screen and then passing the ink through
the mesh left open by the positive onto the substrate(item to
be printed below).

PRINTING ON A TABLE
SURFACE:
This method involves
using our hinge clamps to hold the screen onto a routed surface.
This is a primitive method with the disadvantages of lacking the
speed, ease, precision, and productivity of an actual printer.
|
The printing
surface should be smooth and hard. Arborite or other laminate
would be ideal, and easy to clean.
- The table
should be routed as shown so that the frame of the screen
lies flat on the table.
- Bolt the hinge
clamps down into the round area of the table, place the
screen in the clamps and tighten.
- Use spray
adhesive on the table to hold the paper to T-shirt in
position and wrinkle-free. Just spray lightly, allow to
dry for about 30 seconds and position the substrate.
OFF-CONTACT
PRINTING
To prevent smearing,
build up the edges of the frame so that the screen does
not make contact with the substrate until the squeegee is
pulled across. You can use cardboard or very thin pieces
of wood (usually no thicker than 1/8").
