OUGD402 Brief 1 - Screen Printing

In my own time I went down to vernon street to learn how
to do screen printing properly.

 I first produced a negative for which my screen to be exposed too. 

You first apply a light sensitive ink and let it dry once this has 
dried you must expose the screen with light and your image via 
a light box. 

Once exposed I had to wash off the light sensitive ink, to leave 
the stencil of my desired print. 

Tape off the space to the screen which you do not want to print
on.

The next step is to place the screen into the press to make it easy
to print.

Grab a squeegee place the ink at the top of the screen and at a 45
degree angle with light pressure, drag down and back to the top
for a test print.

Line up stock. And repeat the process dragging the ink up and
down.
