System 3 Screen Printing Mediums
System 3 Tinters: Used for boosting the colour strength of printing ink made by mixing System 3 Acrylic Colour and Printing Medium or Textile Medium. To boost the colour strength of a 50/50 mix, add up to 20% Tinter and mix thoroughly. Brush off dried Tinter from the end of the nozzle before use.
System 3 Waterbased Screen Blockout: Once the drawing fluid is dry the entire surface is then blocked out with System 3 Removable Screen Block, applied by squeegee. Again once dry, the previously drawn image is washed out in cold water to leave an open mesh positive image ready for printing. The screens can be reclaimed after printing by washing out the screen block with hot tap water and soap. Screen block should be kept upright.
System 3 Screen Drawing Fluid: Screen drawing fluid is applied by brush direct to the screen to create the drawn image. It can be applied neat but will probably require some dilution with water in finer detail areas.
System 3 Textile Printing Medium: Developed for screen printing onto fabrics. When mixed 1:1 with System 3 Acrylic colours the medium remains open on the screen, gives strong colour, fine definition and excellent colour fastness over 20+ washes.
