Equipment For Screen Print

Things You'll Need : 

• Apron - Messing around with emulsion ca get a bit messy. You may want to keep your clothes clean
• Print Material - If you are printing a poster you will require paper to print on. Alternatively if you are printing on a t-shirt you will require on of those. 
• Screen Printing Medium - You will need acrylic to give your printing medium its color. You need to mix the acrylic with the medium at a ratio of 2 parts medium to 1 parts acrylic 
• Squeegee - You will need a squeegee to administer the emulsion to the screen  
•  Screens - You use the screen as a template to apply the print to the print material. Different size and hole density on different screens give different effects to the print.
• Palette Knife - You need a palette knife to put the print medium on to the screen.
• Jet Wash - The jet wash is used to wash of the emulsion from the screen
• Newspaper or Old Table Cloth - This is so you don't get the screen print medium all of the place.
• Photo Sensitive Emulsion -  Photosensitive emulsion is used on the screens so that when you apply the medium on the screen, certain parts of the screen do not let the medium through. It is used to create the template.
• Scooper - The scoopers troth is filled with photosensitive emulsion and is then use to apply the emulsion to the screen.
• Lightbox -  When the screen is covered in the photosensitive emulsion, the UV rays set it. If you put any black screen infront of any part of the emulsion, it will not set and therefor be able to get washed off with water.
