Preparing a silk-screen printer for printing on fabric

Before printing anything, you must prepare the silk-screen printer and properly attach the stencil. The procedure may vary somewhat, depending on the kind of printer you use.

1. If there are hinges on the printer, remove them.

   Tip:	The screen is easier to manipulate without them.

2. Place the screen frame face down.
3. Lay the stencil face down on the side of the screen facing up.
4. Tape the stencil onto the frame. Tape all around the edges to prevent the ink from leaking.
