To screenprint on fabric Modatex water based ink is one of the most suitable ink for this purpose. It allows also to obtain a covering effect by using a thick layer of ink, but with a more thinner layer of ink it`s possible to obatin a fabric dye effect because it leave visibile the fabric texture.
To engrave a screenprinting frame it`s important to have a bright light, that could be an halogen but also a UV light, that can replace the former light. There is also an alternative for the emulsion, because the QLT emulsion is able to engrave the screen under a cold light!
A screenprinting spatula is a tool suitable to spread the ink on the frame, is composed by an handle and the part to spread the ink. Even though this tool allow to spread a regular layer of ink, it`s hard to use it to spread a precise thickness of ink layer, there are too many factors that affect this action: the pressure and the speed of the screenprinter, the frame and the ink itself that dries and changes his thickness. So it`s better using something more technological.
During the phase of spreading the emulsion on the frame it`s better using a yellow light to have a better visibility. To dry the emulsion is better leave the frame into the darkness. To develop the frame the right light is the same used to spread the emulsion. All the other phase don`t need specific lights, at least a strong light to make the emulsion harder.
