Marabu Screen Printing Kit Set - Screen Print Kit with Reusable Wooden Frame, 1 Screen Printing Squeegee, and 3 x 100ml Ink - Silk Screen Printing Kit for Beginners

This is a great starter set for beginners like me! I wanted to try it on my T-shirt, and it turned out great!

Love these paints, the screen is a little small, but in all a great buy!

Wonderful. Need better colors

It appears to all be there, can’t wait to use it!

I figured how to use it .. it went well but it didn’t take long for it to set in the screen and stain . Hard to come out of screen

great to start with

I've made custom shirts using heat transfer vinyl for a couple of years. That method works OK, but sometimes the vinyl comes off and it doesn't always look great. So, I wanted to try screen printing... but have you seen what FULL production kits cost? $300-ish. This kit is a MUCH cheaper way to dip your toe into silk screening with a small and simple frame, some basic inks, and a little squeegie. What is missing? Something to block the ink comming through the screen. You'll have to figure that out on your own. My understanding is that folks usually use a photo-sensitive emulsion that cures when exposed to UV light. You use something to block the light, then the rinse the uncured emulsion out of the screen, leaving your design ready to print. But I used a reversed negative image of my design cut from sticker vinyl and applied it to the bottom side of the screen. This worked for the 6 or so prints that I did with no issues. But weeding and transfering the sticker to the screen was a pain. I think that moving forward I'll use the emulsion and block the light to cure it using a printed transparency. I tried to upload pictures of my screen printing, but Amazon wouldn't allow it since I printed my company's logo. Not sure why that bothers them.

The ink that comes within the package is in a tube. Overtime the pigment is separated from the solvent. If it is stored in a container you can remix them, but you cannot do it if it is in a tube. The viscosity of the ink is important for screen printing. The screen that comes with this kit is framed with a 3-layer plywood, which is subjected to twisting and deforming after exposing to water, rendering the frame not flat.

Fun project with family.
