Materials Used:
- Computer Paper
- Tape
- Utility Knife
- Image
- Screenprinting Ink
- Fabric
- Screen
- Masking Tape
- Screenprinting Supplies
- Print or draw image on computer paper. Printing By Hand (Corwin) recommends using computer paper or anything else with similar thickness.
- Cut out stencil. I used 4 sheets of paper and taped them together. Image on top. This way I have stencils for other print sessions.
- I tape all my screens to help strengthen the mesh and keep ink from getting on frame. Center frame over image. Check to make sure tape overlaps paper by at least 1/2" all around.
- When you are ready to print, place image down first then screen on top. On your first swipe the paper will adhere to the screen. Here is how the bottom of the screen looks ...
- When your done printing just scrape the ink off, peel off the stencil and clean.

Great image. How many prints do you think the paper would last? Definitely a better idea than ironing on the freezer paper.
