So I have already some stuff that I can use to do serigraphy but don’t know where to start. What I found the most difficult is about preparing the canvases, what chemicals do I need, how to treat them and how to put mi image by color and center them. Do you have any online course, a really good and detailed one?

I know it's best to store unframed prints flat for long-term storage but does anyone know if/when screenprints on paper may become compromised if stored in a tube? I purchased some prints that I may not be in a position to unroll and store safely in advance of an upcoming move when they may need to go into storage in tubes. I'm sure there are a lot of variables but I'm trying to gauge how safe they're likely to be in weeks vs. months vs. years. Thanks.

I need help. I'm trying to stamp on some coat wool fabric with ink for textile. The stamping part is going great and the desing is clear and weel done. My problem is when I washed or rub the fabric my desing is disapearing. How can I make it durable to washing?

Thanks to any help

Hi, I'm trying with photo emulsion from speedball/diazo. From the very beginning I noticed something weird, when I mixed the sensitizer with cold water and then poured into the emulsion, it never completely dissolved. It had like small dark dots even though I mixed for more than 30 minutes straight.

Nonetheless I was positive and used the mixture 3 days after (and tried to dissolve the dots by mixing again for 30 minutes, but didn't work). Just to complete the process I used it on a screen and let it dry.

Now it's completely dry and placed the screen under UV light. How long do you let it there? I read it should be around 15 minutes but I doubt it.

Any piece of advice will be deeply appreciated.

So I’m going to buy a serigraphy kit and I wanted to do both posters and t-shirts with my own designs but the inks say for textiles only and every time I try searching for inks specifically for paper prints or straight up look for an answer to this question I just get the “turn your acrylic paints into clothing dye” response

Hi everyone, I'm gonna be starting to do some serigraphy by myself to customise my clothing and I'm doing my research to gather many information as possible, do you have any recommendations on screen printin inks?, Should I begin with water base?, Any tips and tricks?. Any response will be gladly welcome

What type of heat gun do you use to dry the ink?

Hello! I'm new arround here, I wanted to share with you the serigraphy workshop I'm working at from time to time based in Lyon, France and great works made by several artists We made a new website and often share on Instagram

atelier chalopin

Have a pleasant discovery of the atelier Chalopin!

French Paper company offers up to 26"x 40", which isn't as large as my target.

Hello, I can't remove the emulsion with the karsher, yet I do as usual, i.e. apply the remover and cleanse has this ever happened to you?

Hello. I'm wondering how the image is processed to make a "high color" screen print with gradients.

when the artwork isn't flat colors (I'm guessing they just took a picture of the original "gradient artwork")

​

Is that in Photoshop or a dedicated RIP program?

Pretty sure it's stochastic screening, but how do they do color separation?

Is there a tutorial, link or something on the side where the procedures are explained? Does anyone want to share?

Thanks.

Really want to try silk screen printing ,where do I start and are there any good resources I could read or watch that would help me along the way ?

I was given these by my father when I was in high school. I'm going through a divorce and had never thought they were valuable just beautiful. I can't find any information on originals just on canvas prints. Any thought would be greatly appreciate.
