Screen printing is a useful, exciting and fun art. Traditional screen printing is expensive, messy, and requires a lot of space, making screen printing at home difficult for non-professionals. Not anymore! The StencilPro ™ and PhotoEZ ™ screen printing kits and sheets are unique and designed specifically for use in the home, studio, or small business. They are inexpensive enough to use one or hundreds of times. Now it is possible to make one, twenty or hundreds of shirts.
The StencilPro ™ and PhotoEZ ™ kits were designed to screen printing at home without the need for expensive screen printing equipment and supplies. Flexible pre-coated screen prints eliminate the need for the user to cover screens. The sun is used to develop (burn) the screen, eliminating expensive display units and machines. Alternatively, displays can be developed with full spectrum daylight fluorescent tubes or bulbs, or with yudu machines.
StencilPro ™ and PhotoEZ ™ screen sheets do not use heavy frames. This allows screen printing on curved and irregular surfaces (such as wine glasses and furniture) as well as flat surfaces. Cleanup is a breeze in a typical household sink without those big heavy silk screen frames. There are also no plates required (flat print forms used to join screen printing frames), another cost benefit.
StencilPro ™ and PhotoEZ ™ are professional quality screen prints that can be used hundreds of times with a single design. The templates (screens with developed images) are not recoverable, the process of cleaning the screens with chemicals and solvents in order to reapply the emulsion to develop a different design. This makes StencilPro ™ and PhotoEZ ™ screenprints safer for children and adults, and makes them environmentally friendly.
