LESSON 1: Applies concepts on the steps/procedure in silkscreen

printing - A6PR-IIIc

EXPECTATIONS

This lesson will show how we could apply the concepts/procedure in silkscreen
printing.

PRETEST
A. Direction: Write YES on the line if it shows the characteristic of Silkscreen Printing,
and NO if it does not.

___________1. Images can be printed with glitter, flock, and other decorative finishes.
___________2. The production process is relatively easy.
___________3. Rate of production is fast
___________4. Details and fine line images may be difficult to print.
___________5. Excessive drying times may be necessary.

LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON

Direction: Identify the elements and principles applied in lay outing a digital poster.
________1. Creating a sense of unity in the screen.
_________2. Uses several design elements to draw a viewer’s attention.
_________3. It is the expression that gives impressiveness or importance of the poster
that will attract the viewer’s attention like color.
_________4. Creating a sense of organized movement.
_________5. It can achieve by using graphic elements that directs the viewer’s eyes in
a certain direction.
 BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The simplified description of Silk screen printing involves "pushing" ink
through a screen over a stencil.

Silk screen is originally made from large silk cloth as the name suggests, and now
made from synthetic materials (polyester). However, the process remains the same.

The cloth or mesh was stretched over and fixed to a frame (usually wood,
sometimes they are plastic or aluminum), known as the screen.

Ink was dragged across the screen with a stiff piece of rubber known as a
squeegee. As the ink was dragged across the screen, it will be deposited through the
holes between the strands that will make up the warp and weft of the screen and onto
the surface below. The amount of ink deposited on the surface will be determined
predominantly by the mesh size of the screen. The mesh size refers to the size of the
holes or, more precisely, how many holes per square inch.

A stencil is used to block out areas where the color is not wanted. This stencil can
be as simple as a piece of paper or plastic with a design cut out of it or, if longer print
runs are required (paper stencils are generally only good for a few prints), block out
solutions are used. "Blockouts" come in several different forms. Some are cut out of a
special type of plastic and require solvents to "melt" this to the screen. Some are
brushed directly on to the areas to be blocked out.

Stencil printing is a less expensive, cleaner, and a simpler alternative to screen printing.

ACTIVITIES

Activity 1
Direction: Making Your Stencil (Follow these steps)
1.Brainstorm your stencil ideas 2. Create your design.

3.Print your design. 4.Cut your stencil free of the paper.

 5. Position your substrate. 6. Decide between positive and negative.

7.Mark your stencil placement 8. Paint your stencil.

With painter’s tape.

9.Wait for your paint to dry completely 10. Remove your stencil

11.Add finishing touches with a paintbrush 12. Dry your finishing touches.

Activity 2
Direction: Arrange the steps in making silkscreen printing by numbering 1- 6.
_________ Squeegee
_________ Film positive used to expose and harden
_________ Light sensitive emulsion
_________ Emulsion attached to fabric, expose and developed to wash away
_________ Ink “squeezed” through makes print
_________ Screen frame stretched tightly with fabric

REMEMBER

• Screen printing is the most multipurpose process among all the printing processes.
It is utilized on different mediums of substances like paper, paper board, metals,
fabrics and numerous other substances like plastics, glass, nylon, and even cotton.

• Nowadays, screen printing is used both as an artistic medium and as a commercial

printing process. One stencil can be used to reproduce the same design hundreds
or even thousands of times.
 CHECKING YOUR UNDERSTANDING

Direction: Draw happy face on the line if it shows the process of screen
printing, and sad face if not.

_______ Plan your image, think about positive and negative space, as well as color
and image size.
_______ Cut the stencil, draw then cut your image on the back of the contact
paper.
_______ Measure and tear your good paper and some newsprint paper.
_______ Apply the stencil to the flat side of the screen.
_______ Prep the printing space. Clamp the screen tightly and tape a sheet of
acetate to the table under the screen.

POST-TEST

Direction: Identify the process of Silkscreen Printing. Write the letter on the line.

_____________Frame
____________ The Printed image on paper
____________ Ink
____________ Squeegee
____________ Positive image on the screen
____________ Negative space on the screen
