Screen Printing with Normal, Opaque and Pearl Binder


First you choose your binder, here is normal binder. 1 part pigment to 5 part binder.


Mix it together.


Put it on the screen and then use a squidgy at a 45 degree angle and put pressure on it to pull down the screen, then turn the squidgy round to pull it back up but without the pressure and then repeat the first pull down.



This is the results with normal binder. This result didn't spread but did show up quite clearly on the other side of fabric.

This is made with pearl binder, it didn't work so well on the first one but worked better on the second one.


 These were made with excess binder mix.



This is opaque binder, I can't really see much of a difference between this one and normal binder.
