Yes, it is excellent for small-batch textile production, provided the ink is heat-set according to the instructions to ensure wash-fastness.
No, because the System 3 range is water-based, standard warm water and mild soap are sufficient for cleaning if done promptly.
While it is designed for System 3 acrylics, other high-quality water-based acrylics may work, though results cannot be guaranteed.
No, the 41 x 55cm frame is a fixed size; ensure your artwork fits within these dimensions for optimal results.
Drying times vary based on humidity and surface, but typically prints will be touch-dry in a few hours, though heat-setting is recommended for fabric.
Reduce the amount of pressure used on the squeegee and ensure the frame is in direct, flat contact with the printing surface.
Apply a thicker, more consistent layer of paint during the pull, or perform a second pass with the squeegee.
Use warm water and a soft sponge to gently scrub the mesh immediately. Do not use abrasive brushes that might damage the screen.
Before starting, ensure your workspace is flat and protected with a drop cloth. To set up, place your fabric or paper firmly on a non-slip surface, then position your screen frame directly on top. After each use, it is critical to clean the screen with water immediately before the acrylic paint dries, as dried paint can permanently clog the mesh. Always store the squeegee upright or on its edge to prevent the blade from warping. Keep all tubes capped tightly to maintain the moisture content of the acrylic paints.
