Screen Emulsion Process: Lesson #2
- First, you coat the screen with a light-sensitive emulsion.
- Then, you place your photo negative image on top of the emulsified screen. Your image is printed in pure black on a transparent surface, such as a piece of transparency paper, or vellum.
- Expose the screen to a strong light source, ensuring that your image is between the light and the emulsion. The emulsion covered by your image remains unexposed, while the exposed emulsion dries.
- Remove your image, and rinse out the screen. Like magic, the previously protected emulsion washes away, leaving a stencil.
- Push your ink through the screen…
- And now you have your print!
