I'm wanting to screenprint some apparel on a bit of a budget and was looking for a some recommendations.
1 ~ a good, inexpensive emulsion
2 ~ a reputable online retailer for said emulsionIs it possible to make a screen from fabric that I can get at Michaels, Walmart, Art Supply store, etc...?
Thanks in advance!

I just spent $100 to set up everything I need to start printing. That includes the wood to make a custom press I found in a book. Very cheap if you go buy the goods at a supply shop.

Yeah, I bought a 19x22 125 mesh screen for $14 at our local shop in San Diego.

I second the Ulano TZ, and you only really need one coat... forget whatever you read on the instruction box of other emulsions. http://www.standardscreen.com/
