screens
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2011 4:44 pm
OK, this will be a really dumb question, but seeing as to how I am as clueless as a newborn in a lot of screen printing matters, please allow me the luxury of being stupid. I am sure when you stop laughing you will be able to help me.
My question is in two parts,
first, do most screen printers buy their blank screens or do they build them? If you buy them, where? and if you build them, what is the standard size?
The second part of my question plays into the building aspect of screens. If you build them, what is the best material (aka- weave size and type of material) to use for t shirt printing?
I was also wondering how you stretch the screen to make it as taught as possible when you build them.
thanks in advance.
