摘要:
A screen printing method and apparatus is provided for emulating textured brushstrokes on prints that have been previously printed. The screen printing system and process include steps of forming the screen by providing a mesh (14) with a thread count between 86 and 230 threads per inch, applying emulsion (12) having a thickness between 50 and 200 microns to the mesh (14), positioning an image film (18) adjacent the emulsion, exposing the emulsion to a light source (22), removing non-hardened areas of emulsion from the mesh to form image openings (24a). The method also involves selecting appropriate ink formulations, preparing the squeegee/floodbar, and various press mechanics.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for producing prints. The method comprises positioning a mesh having a first surface and a second surface and a thread count between approximately 86 and approximately 230 threads per inch in a substantially rigid frame and applying a photo-chemically active emulsion to the first surface of the mesh to a thickness of between approximately 50 microns and approximately 200 microns. The first side of the mesh is positioned relative to a top side of a photosensitive substrate and an image film is positioned against the bottom side of the photosensitive substrate. The photo-chemically active emulsion is exposed through the image film to a light source, and non-hardened photo-chemically active emulsion is removed from the mesh. The first surface of the mesh is positioned above a top surface of a print substrate and ink is applied to the second surface of the mesh so that ink travels through the mesh and the areas in which the photo-chemically active emulsion has been removed and onto the top surface of the print substrate.
