Textiles "print making"

Print screening is the art of applying thick inks on a screen using a scweegy and running it along the print area onto paper, cloth, calico or silk to imprint impressions of the patter that isn't covered by wax, the wax covered area protects the material underneath for the ink being ran over the top of the meshed screen, it's recommended that you run your scweegy Over the screen twice otherwise the ink may bleed and distaught the image trying to be printed. Once the screen has been used it need to be cleaned to prevent the waxless areas of the mash from being clogged up by the ink when it dries, after use the dirty screen should not be left any longer than five minutes, it is recommended to jet wash the screen on a low pressure to remove all the ink.

When We did the screen printing we had a variety of different screens and inks to use, in mine I made some Rainbow effect ones where I placed the inks next to each othere the ink then mixes as the scweegy is ran over the screen it creates a fade effect against the material this is visible once the screen is lifted to revial the print. We did 15 pieces in total so that we could make a vast amount of screen printing and different pattern use.
