Tips & Techniques
If your chosen mesh design has details which reach further down the mesh than others, apply more ink above those details to ensure the ink reaches the bottom of the design.
Draw the Squeegee down the screen using a little pressure with the Squeegee angled towards you at about 30 degrees. If you find your resulting image has run or bled, try using less ink or altering the Squeegee angle.
Colour Theory
The primary colours are the foundation of creating all other colours. These can be used directly or mixed in different quantities to create different colours and tones.
Secondary colours are created by combining any 2 of the primary colours in equal parts.
Red + Yellow = Orange
Yellow + Blue = Green
Blue + Red = Purple
To create the next set of colours or tertiary colours, combine a primary and it’s nearest secondary colour. For example, combining red and purple creates a deeper or redder purple.
By following these simple steps you have the possibility to create an infinite range of colours. You can expand the colour wheel further by combining secondary and tertiary colours.
Adding black and white to these colours will also darken or lighten the colours you have mixed. Using extender will also make the ink more translucent.
There are an infinite amount of colour possibilities to create and the Screen Sensation Home Screen Printing Kit is all about fun and creativity, so why not experiment to find out what you can create with a little imagination!
Care Recommendations for Screens
To get the most out of your screens, we recommend the following:
- Attach Screen Sensations screens to the frame using Screen Sensation Fixing Tape – regular tape may damage them when removing
- After use, remove any excess ink from the screen using the Palette Knife before removing the screen from the frame
To clean the screen, place it in a sink under running water and gently agitate any remaining ink until all traces of it are removed. Shake off any excess water from the screen, then lay it to try on a cloth on a flat surface. Do not lay clean, wet screens on top of each other as it may damage them.
