What you will need
Step 1
Position
EZScreen Silkscreen Stencil
on t-shirt. Use a plastic frame for multiple printing or for preventing
ink from going on the t-shirt.
Note: Place a piece of cardboard or paper inside the shirt to prevent the
ink from bleeding through the other side.
Step 2
Attach the EZScreen stencil to the plastic frame using blue painters tape.
This step is optional, and a plastic frame does not need to be used for
every project.
Step 3
Using the popsicle stick, add a generous amount of screen printing ink to
the squeegee.
Step 4
Spread screen printing ink over the stencil until the entire surface is
coated.
Step 5
Lift the EZScreen Stencil on each corner to check for voids (this step is
easier without a plastic frame). If there are areas of missing ink, lay the
stencil back down and go over that area again with the squeegee and more
ink.
Step 4
Before the ink dries, quickly rinse the
EZScreen Silk Screen Stencil
using a
washout brush
and a
plastic canvas
for support. Blot excess moisture with paper towels and lay stencil emulsion
side up to dry. For multiple printing, skip this step and lay the stencil
onto the next item to be printed. Wash out the stencil when the ink becomes
difficult to push through the stencil, as ink will begin to clog the silk
screen mesh.
Step 5
Completed custom screen printed t-shirt! When the ink has completely dried,
heat set shirt with a dry iron or heat press.
Note: Wait one week before washing.
