Step 1: Create your artwork and get it ready for printing
All you need is a black and white picture or drawing. Since we wanted to use 2 different colors, we have gone one step further and separated our artwork into two pictures - a tree and text in a circle. See step 2. |
 |
Step 2: Print your artwork
For maximum detail, use InkJet or LaserJet transparency, or vellum paper when printing.
|
 |
Step 3: Peel clear protective backing from PhotoEZ or StencilPro
|
|
Step 4: Place printed artwork over clear plastic sheet of the Contact Frame
|
 |
Step 5: Place the PhotoEZ or StencilPro silkscreen stencil shiny side down on artwork |
 |
Step 6: Add the black foam board
Magnets in the frame should clamp the two parts together firmly. To ensure good contact press down on the center of the contact frame. |
 |
Step 7: Expose
Turn over the contact frame so that the clear plastic sheet of the frame faces the light. Expose to light source. Be sure to use the exposure times as recommended for your stencil film type.
• PhotoEZ exposure chart
• StencilPro exposure chart |
 |
Step 8: Soak in tap water for 15 minutes
Gradually you will be able to see the silhouette of the exposed image on stencil.
|
 |
Step 9: Brush and rinse
Brush and rinse with water. Use a plastic canvas to support the stencil during rinsing or cleaning screen printing ink. |
 |
Step 10: Dry stencil
Your stencil is no longer sensitive to light. As soon as the stencil is dry, it is ready for use. |
 |
Step 11: Repeat steps 2 through 10 if you are using separate stencil, as we are using for text in a circle printout |
