Subject: Re: laser printing onto silkscreen material

From: "Steve" <alienrelics@...>

Please don't start a thread by responding to another thread. Somehow
Yahoogroups links it in the old thread, even though you have changed
the subject line and erased the old message. Presumably some header is
still there.

Anyway.... That isn't how silkscreening works. You print a photomask,
usually onto vellum because it works better than using transparencies.
Then expose the screen under it, and wash out.

You will have to find some very fine screen to do this. Standard
screen for screenprinting is fairly coarse.
