Vellum may be used in screen printing in lieu of a film positive.

Using AW Vellum Paper in Screen Printing

AW Vellum paper can serve as an effective alternative to traditional film positives in the screen printing process. Below are the steps to utilize vellum paper for screen printing:

Steps to Use AW Vellum Paper

  1. Print Artwork: Use a laser printer or a photocopier to print your artwork directly onto the AW Vellum paper.

  2. Prepare the Screen: Ensure your screen is clean and properly coated with emulsion.

  3. Expose the Screen: Place the printed vellum paper on the prepared screen and expose it to light as you would with a traditional film positive.

  4. Develop the Screen: After exposure, wash out the unexposed emulsion to reveal your design.

  5. Print: Once the screen is dried and ready, you can proceed with the printing process.
