Product Information

Full details

The Daler Rowney System3 Removable Screen Block is designed for professional artists and students who require a reliable, reusable stenciling solution for screen printing. This medium allows you to create precise, handmade stencils that are durable enough for multiple impressions, offering a versatile workflow for acrylic-based projects. A key benefit is its water-soluble formula that simplifies the cleanup process; however, users must ensure the drawing fluid is completely dry before application to prevent unwanted ink bleed.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this product light-sensitive?

No, the Daler Rowney System3 Removable Screen Block is not light-sensitive, meaning you do not need a darkroom or UV light to expose your stencil.

Can I use this with oil-based inks?

This product is designed for use with acrylic-based inks within the System3 range and is not recommended for oil-based mediums.

How many prints can I pull with one stencil?

The number of prints depends on your application technique, but it is designed for multiple impressions in small-to-medium runs.

Do I need to mix it with water before use?

No, it is ready to use directly from the bottle for optimal consistency.

What happens if I use hot water to wash out the drawing fluid?

Using hot water prematurely may dissolve the Screen Block along with the drawing fluid, potentially ruining the stencil.

Is this product safe for classroom environments?

Yes, because it is solvent-free and water-soluble, it is a popular choice for school and studio settings.

Troubleshooting

Stencil is not washing out cleanly

Ensure you are using cold water for the initial washout; hot water may cause the block to become too soft.

Ink is bleeding through the stencil

Check that the Screen Block was applied in a completely uniform layer; gaps in coverage allow ink to seep through.

Difficulty reclaiming the screen

Use warmer water and a soft nylon brush with soap to help break down the emulsion if it has been left on the screen too long.

  • Easy to wash out with standard soap and water
  • Compatible with the complete System3 range

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the screen, ensure the mesh is clean and free of oils before beginning. The Removable Screen Block is specifically formulated to work with System3 drawing fluid; avoid using mismatched brands to ensure proper washout. To maintain your screens, always reclaim the mesh immediately after you finish your print run. Use hot water and a mild soap solution, gently scrubbing the mesh to remove all traces of the block. Store the screen in a cool, dry place to prevent mesh distortion. Always ensure the bottle cap is tightly closed after use to prevent the product from thickening.
