Screen Fabric The type of fabric to be used depends only on the requirements arising from the process. The fabric’s material must allow good connection to the stencil material and must not be affected by the ink solvent or cleaning agents. It must be sufficiently abrasion-resistant to withstand the stress created when the squeegee is brought into contact with the substrate. Types:polyester,silk,nylon,stainless steel Stencil The carrier of the printed information, the stencil, is produced in a different way. Photographic Stencil Methods Indirect process Direct process Direct/Indirect process Indirect Process---P303 Figure 13.14 The indirect uses a dry emulsion on a plastic support sheet. The stencil film is exposed through a transparent, right-reading positive and is then treated with a developer solution. The areas that light reaches harden during exposure.The remaining areas are washed away with a warm-water spray to form the image or printing areas.The stencil is adhered to a clean screen while it is wet from the spray,and the support sheet is removed after the stencil dries.
