Screen Printing for Fine Lines & Details

The photo emulsion process is perfect for graphic and detailed works. It is the best method for screen printing digital images. Watch the video below from Speedball to see for step-by-step directions! Find Speedball Photo Emulsion and Sensitizer here. Below you will find two alternative methods to the Photo Emulsion method. Both use Screen Filler and Drawing Fluid instead of Photo Emulsion. The Screen Filler method involves a more organic process, it is great for painterly or hand-drawn prints.

We Carry Escoda Prado Travel Brushes!

Escoda Prado Synthetic Sable Travel Brush We now carry Escoda's Prado Synthetic Sable Travel Brushes - a more cost effective way to experience Escoda's Travel Brushes! Escoda Prado Synthetic Sable Travel Brush Set Prado Synthetic Sable Brushes are made with synthetic fibers that are very similar to sable hair. The synthetic fibers imitate the properties (color, spring, and the ability to absorb liquids) that artists look for in a sable brush. Escoda takes this similarity even further by using a combination of three different diameters and three lengths of fibers to create a brush with the same brushstroke result as one made with natural sable hair. The travel brushes come with a cap that extends the handle for convenient use. These beautiful brushes are perfect for anyone who likes to work outside their home or studio.
