STENCIL Preparation - Transfer the PATTERN to the SCREEN

The next stage in the process is the transfer of the separated effects to the appropriate screens. Depending on the nature of the design itself and the type of printing paste to be used, it is necessary to choose the appropriate fineness of the screen and attend to the transfer of effects.

In this lesson, the principle of making a stencil will be explained in the context of manual screen printing, but also from the aspect of industrial production. The methodology of developing flat and rotary screens (stencils), by the process of light exposure and laser engraving will be explained.

Also the newest "Computer to Screen" technology will be explained.
