*UPDATE How to silkscreen without lightbox ?




silkscreen frame ,
rm4.50 for a3
for the silk , rm5.90 from kamdar

fabric paint rm2 also can get
photo emulsion vision art rm25 plus sensitizer rm6.50

nope , no need. if theres any error , the screen still can be used

you use normal paper and cooking oil !



yeah you can make diy lightbox , i use two thick silkscreen frame to make mine.
dont bother asking other lowyat forumers for help with the lightbox ,
i did once and they started bragging about them making lightbox and
obviously not helping me with my lightbox. i got very irritated.

Anyway lol out of topic , in the end i made my own lightbox with only rm30
i think. or you can get the vision art lightbox for rm95



i use my own used silkscreen frame to combine and made a frame out from it
and i use a flat piece of wood so i can put my ringlight to it, the glass costed
me around rm12 , the ringlight around rm10 ( rm8 for the ring light ) and most
of the stuff i found around the house hahahaha basically i just korek and use whatever i have.

quite mafan tho , but it's fun makng your own lightbox
good luck !




For photo emulsion, i recommend socomask , ( its the black container , the emulsion is purple )
I bought the emulsion from somewhere in kl i cant remember ._. and the green bottle ,
the emulsion is in red. the red version is good , but make sure your silk have smaller holes.
lol must use expensive silk.I'll upload the other picture later.

hardware shop pun ada where do you live ? after getting all the tools dont forget to share ok hahaha

awww.. i have no idea if they have photo emulsion and squeegee in sibu.
but actually you can try looking for these items in bookshops , hardware shops dont sell silkscreen tools. just the wood and light for the lightbox.
yes you can use fabric dye =)

fabric dye around that price =)
but i still recommend rubber colour because can tahan lama =)
yeah if youre interested in getting photo emulsion and rubber colour you can email http://www.khailien.com.my/
maybe they do postage ? i'm not sure..

Acrylic is something similar to rubber colour , but not sure about the quality.


This is photo emulsion , i recommend socomask , ( its the black container , the emulsion is purple )

one bottle can make more than 30 screens definitely. my class use one bottle but it depends on how many times you redo. for a3 size.
preferably dont use coloured lightbulb , white tungsten light would do because you're burning the images onto the screen with white light its cleaner better faster.

i use 7 minutes to burn and remember , use a hairdryer to dry the screen faster and when you do the photo emulsion coating , make sure its really really thin. if its too thick , it will spoil the image burning and it wont be clean.

I'm taking multimedia design. they will have this for foundation but only for a project.
I continued making screens cause self interest , flash also.. ( maybe i should put up a tutorial ? )
im in sem 3 year 1 havent touch flash yet ( which they will soon in year 2 )
If you really love doing art manually and digitally , you will be able to pick up fast , as there is internet you can find many many tutorials out there. Maybe in our country , sometimes we dont have things we need here to do our stuff then have to order and yadayadayada.

You should take the course if youre interested because we're totally different from graphic design course something different I freelance too , just in case if you wonder multimedians only do websites and flash and computers , we do ads , motion graphic , prints and yeah multi-media stuff.

wah good !

hahah you should. seriously vector + silkscreen are like brudders lol
and if you ask why , because vector is.. i dunno why but vector format better hahahahah

thanks serpentarius ! hehehe

Around art friend there cheaper i just checked. mhmm cant la bro cause have to go here and there. from sunway to midvalley then post office :S you order from khailien.com.my can i think.

from my college bookshop rm25 for the photo emulsion and sensitizer RM6.50
from art friend rm20.50 for both


do you need asap ? if i go there maybe i will be able to get it for you.. but not now.

yeah can be trusted
the one from art friend and my college bookshop is fairbreno hahaha sorry forgot to tell you =)

no youre not , I dont get it at first too. =)
I dont mind explaining ,

The most important item in silkscreening is = photo emulsion
photo emulsion is like film. ( they use this photo emulsion for polaroid if still dont understand can ask me again but the emulsion for polaroid is super sensitive )

This photo emulsion is not that sensitive. in fact you can actually just do it in open air , without a darkroom. All you need is just a room with dim lights.

and of course we need to print the image ( that we want to burn onto the screen ) and it has to be black ! because when the lights go through your paper , it will burn the image onto the screen when you expose it. and when the image is burned onto the screen, the black parts will fall off when you wash the screen.

the screen : the frame is to hold the silk ketat ketat and so we can put emulsion and burn the image onto it. its like a platform


Understand anot ?

Use paper better , most of the silkscreening factories they use paper and oil. yeah and i heard if you use oil and paper , the image will be nicer. =) I never use transparency. ok la only once ( which was the first time and i failed lol )

well you can say that we can cheat the light by using oil to make your paper transparent lol

Thank you

Awesome dont forget to post it up here when youre done !

you totally simplified my long ass essay. lol yes chemical.
