Making Films

To make films for screen printing-
use paint pens- use BLACK Sharpie Paint Pens those are the most opaque. The Sakura Deco markers are just as good, but they are a bit more expensive.
So why Black?
Light wont go through the black parts on the film. It wont allow the emulsion to harden and block off what isn’t going to be printed. Keep in mind to keep lines dark especially with fine point pens, occasionally those pens wont get as dark.
Keep in mind
When making films, to make sure that everything is being thought as a stencil. Or even comparing to other things such as layers in photoshop. Each film is a different layer and a new image that goes on top of the next.
