Screen Printing Medium

This medium retards the drying of acrylic colour on the screen and reduces the risk of screen blocking making it easier to wash out. The medium can be thinned with water.

System 3 Acrylic Colours retain great density of colours even after mixing with medium and very substantial covering power can be achieved on paper, card and board without undue cockling.

Textile Printing Medium

A Textile printing Medium has now been developed for screen printing on fabrics.

Mixed 1:1 with System 3 Colour the medium remains open on the screen, gives strong colour, fine definition and excellent colour fastness over 20+ washes.

Garments should be heat fixed with an iron at temperatures appropriate to the fabric itself. The fabric should be pre-washed before printing.

The medium works well on cotton, cotton mixes, synthetics, silk and natural fibres.

Removable Screen Block

Once the drawing fluid is dry the entire screen surface is then blocked out with System 3 Removable Screen Block, applied by squeegee.

Again, once dry, the previously drawn image is washed out in cold water to leave an open-mesh positive image ready for printing.

The screens can be reclaimed after printing by washing out the Screen Block with hot tap water and soap or cleaning fluid.

Screen Block should be kept upright and stored at normal room temperature.

Screen Drawing Fluid

The blue Screen Drawing Fluid is applied by brush direct to the screen to create the drawn image. It can be applied neat but will probably require some dilution with water in fine detail areas.
