Screen Printing 101 Part 3

Description

This is part 3 of 3 of a tutorial on the basics of screen printing a shirt.

I really want to show people how easy and inexpensive it is. I think that screen printing is one of those things that intimidates people when it really shouldn't. I think I left out that a basic kit shouldn't cost much more that $30 or $40. That's pretty cheap considering what you can do with it.

This part covers the actual printing of your screen and cleanup. There's also a bunch of random things that I've learned thrown in at the end.

So now you know the whole process. I'd love to see what anyone creates. And I'll be happy to answer any questions, well, the ones that I can anyway. Just message me.

EDIT: There was a bit more inaccurate information about textile versus regular screen printing inks, it has been removed. Um, redundant but just in case; don't use regualr screen printing inks for shirts. There, ass now covered.

EDIT 2: Noted the different cleanup process for the Diazo emulsion. I will update the tutorial with more detail once I have a bit more experience with the Diazo.
