How-To Make an EZScreenPrint Stencil
 |
Create and print your artwork. Use an ink jet or laser printer set on best print and/or heavy ink. For best quality use transparency film.
Center artwork on the clear part of the exposure frame.
|
 |
Peel clear protective backing from EZScreenPrint Stencil. Disgard clean backing.
|
 |
Place EZScreenPrint Stencil on artwork, shinny side down.
|
 |
Add black felt board.
|
 |
Add Clips. Clear board, black felt board and clips are included in all starter kits.
|
 |
Turnover and place a black Foamie on exposure unit. A piece of cardboard or towel will work too. Keep the exposure unit covered until ready to expose.
|
 |
Expose to direct sunlight for 1 minute (+/- 10 seconds) with transparency film
.
Temperature
does not matter; however, summer months may take less time to expose
than winter months. Exposure time may vary per location, time of day,
etc.
|
 |
Soak in tap water for a minimum of 15 minutes. A ghost image will appear.
|
 |
Use a plastic canvas to support the EZScreenPrint stencil during rinsing. Rinse with cold or lukewarm tap water. A kitchen sprayer works great.
If needed use a soft brush
to remove excess residue. Be sure all the emulsion residue is
completely rinsed off, otherwise the ink will not go through the
silkscreen.
|
 |
Harden & dry in sunlight. This process makes the stencil durable and last longer.
If
it's windy place weights on the stencil like these tiles from a
hardware store. Rotate the tiles so the stencil hardens evenly.

Ready to use!
