+=====Notes =====
-/01/10 - Arrived at Makerspace\\
+  * Hal has been appointed Area Champion for the screen printing area. If you have questions, please ask him.
-/31/12 - Moved to Lenox\\
+  * [[members:tomgondek|Tom Gondek]] is an expert user, in fact, he owns the machine. :)
+  * [[members:peteprodoehl|Pete Prodoehl]] has used it quite a bit as well.
+  * If you're not an expert, please use only water-based inks, not the Plastisol inks!
+  * There are a number of consumables such as ink, tape, spray glue, and possibly vinyl and transfer paper. Please make sure you replenish what you use.
+  * Clean up! Screen printing is messy, especially for beginners. Make sure you clean the squeegees and screens and the machine itself. Don't leave a mess for the next person.
+  * If you are using vinyl (or another temporary masking/template solution) and water-based inks, feel free to use any of the blank screens kept in the screen printing area.
+  * Make sure you turn the heater off (and unplug it) when you are done!
- =====Notes =====
