How a job runs
- 1
Lay the stencils
Each sheet is cut for one ink: cyan, magenta or yellow. Slide them, rotate them, set the order they run in.
- 2
Pull the squeegee
One drag down the screen pushes every ink through, pass by pass, in tray order.
- 3
Lift and peel
Up comes the screen, off comes the film. The inks are transparent, so where they cross they mix.
- 4
Match the proof
If your print matches the client’s proof, it passes. One pull earns three stars.
Three inks, eight colours
The inks are transparent and they multiply, just like the real thing. Cyan and yellow make green, magenta and yellow make red, cyan and magenta make blue, and all three come out near-black. Opaque white goes on last and hides what’s under it. Then come the films.
