coat + burn screens
$25 per screen /
or 3 for $60

Coating screens(s) involves applying a light-sensitive emulsion evenly onto the mesh surface using a scoop coater, creating a crucial stencil for the precise reproduction of designs in screen printing. Burning (exposing) a screen entails placing the coated screen, bearing a light-sensitive emulsion stencil, into an exposure unit where it is subjected to ultraviolet light, solidifying the emulsion and creating the final template for printing.

Reclaiming a silk screen involves removing the residual ink and emulsion from the mesh, typically through a combination of chemicals and pressure washing, in order to prepare the screen for a fresh coating and subsequent use in the screen printing process.

Degreasing a silk screen is the process of thoroughly cleaning and removing any contaminants, such as oils or residues, from the mesh to ensure optimal adhesion of emulsion during coating, maintaining the screen's integrity in the screen printing workflow.

Creating a film transparency for silk screen printing involves producing a clear, high-contrast design or image on a transparent film, serving as the stencil that, when aligned and exposed onto a coated screen, guides the formation of the emulsion template for the printing process.
