Screen Printing Home Set up

A few weeks ago I decided to start looking into getting myself some screen printing equipment so I could carry on doing printmaking once I finish uni.

I got the Daler - Rowney printmaking kit which comes with an A3 screen, drawing fluid, stencil blocker, textile medium, acrylic printing medium, an apron, a squeegee and 4 system 3 paints. I then picked up some speedball photo emulsion and emulsion remover and some Halogen lights (to expose the screen)






I exposed the screen for about 1min 45 and instead of printing onto acetate I just printed onto normal printing paper and cover it with vegetable oil, it ended working in the same way.
