SCREENPRINTING
Screenprinting is becoming increasingly popular with our users, especially with the use of direct drawing techniques.
Screenprinting Press: Bed Size 51”x 36” with vacuum bed and squeegee arm. This is an industrial machine rescued from one of the local firms and then donated to the workshop by John Howes, Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Art and Design, Swansea Institute of Higher Education.
Large vacuum bed:
The large screen printing vacuum bed can take screens of up to 43" x 64". The screen printing area is designed to function on a water based, solvent free basis. It is equipped to handle large screens, with wash out facility and coating area nearby.
