We’ll find out. I can’t be here this weekend though so it’ll be up to you.
Screen printing medium is from 2016 but still looks like it might be usable, if it’s junk we’ll toss it. As for inks there’s some acrylic paint which will work fine for testing. Or in general, it’s all I ever used.
Screens look a bit dirty but that’s what today is about, we’ll try and scrub a few / decide what’s up with the sink & pressure washer. We may need someone who actually knows anything at all about plumbing for help there.
Paper looks like it’s up to us as screen printing techs, we source it and ask for budget towards it. For today we’re just seeing if anything works at all and copier paper will do fine until we get some supplies. Mostly I want to just do test strips with the exposure unit and work out burn times, assuming we even have a dry screen ready to test it in time (I doubt this). We might even need to work out a yellow safe light / gel for that room anyway. Buying expensive paper before we’ve even done basic inductions seems like cart before horse to me anyway, a pile of newsprint and sending people to John Purcell is probably more sensible no?
Never had ghosted screens do anything to prints. All they’ve done for me look weird on the screen but if they show up, sure. We probably need to buy/make a few new screens anyway, there is some mesh in one of the drawers.
Seems like you’ve done this more than me anyway though so I’m happy to be corrected if I’ve made any mistakes here. Been going back through my BA notes & books about it all the past few days.
Thanks again to @asander1 for getting the exposure unit and poking me to get this all going.
