Like cooking, your screen printing will improve with practice, but your first experiments are likely to be embarrassing if you don't follow instructions carefully. Before I get started, I want to explain some screen printing vocabulary. The process we're going to use is called screen printing, not silk screening or silk screen printing. The mesh count is simply the number of threads per linear inch that are woven into the mesh. In addition to the ink and screen, the one other indispensable tool of the modern, high-tech screen printer is the squeegee.
Squeegees are available with wood or metal handles.
Save money by buying wood. Good squeegee blades print better and last longer. Squeegee blades come in various hardnesses. Ask for a medium hardness. However, the squeegee should be at least 2 in.
