How to print on paper with a silk-screen printer

Using a silk-screen printer is a good way to print small numbers of paper copies, especially where willing hands are more available than electrical power.

Here is a list of the materials needed to print on paper with a silk-screen printer:

• Ink

• Stencils

• Paper

  Tips:

  You can use any paper, but a porous paper absorbs the ink and dries quickly. Heavy paper can be printed on both sides.

• Masking tape

• Cleaning materials

1. Select the proper ink for the job.
2. Prepare to print.
3. Print trial copies.
4. Print multiple copies.
5. Dry the copies.
6. Clean the printer.
