I know it shouldn't be that hard! I have a BFA in design and printmaking but my print teacher wouldn't teach us to silkscreen because she says it's "bastard printmaking". Now I'm trying to do it on my own with no luck.
My problem is the only refernce I have is a 3 page pamphlet that came with my gear. There is no time table for exposure so I'm guessing at that.
Two Problems...
1. When I expose the screen and go to wash it the emulsion keeps washing off. It's not how water or a direct stream. The image just starts to come through and then the emulsion starts coming off in clumps.
2. I put the emulsion on the screen adn leave it to dry overnight, but when I come back it's really uneven and it seems to have created little bubbles on the bottom of the screen.
What is going on!!!
Thanks in advance for the help.
