Notes
Mariah Rayne has been appointed Area Champion for the screen printing area. If you have questions, please ask them.
-
Tom Gondek is an expert user and owns the machine.
-
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, and transfer paper. Please make sure you replenish what you use/donate to the area and appropriate amount for the space to replenish it with area funds.
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.
Make sure you turn the heater off (and unplug it) when you are done!
