Hello everybody.
I am going totally DIY on this project I've been working on for over 2 years. In short, I need to screen print text on flat glass. The glass forms the front of a shadow-box. I purchased 250-mesh screen material, made frames, used Ulano Proclaim emulsion, and Nazdar 59000 ink (diluted 10% with the Nazdar thinner). The results are shown in the attached image.
I did try to load the frame above the glass before squeegeeing the ink onto the glass, and the frame was propped above the glass about 1/8-inch. The emulsion was hard, and I made sure it was compatible with the ink. The mesh is within the specified range for the ink.
Any guess where I went wrong? I will not give up this last step in this lengthy project, but I wanted to give the finished products to my doctoral committee as gifts in about a year.
Starting to lose the fun in this project...
Thanks,
Just Tim
