It is a related object of this invention to provide various articles of manufacture and methods resulting in improved screen printing or serigraphy stencils. It is also an object of this invention to provide improved silk screen stencils and stencil making methods. It is a germane object of this invention to provide articles, apparatus and methods for more fully realizing the artistic, recreational, educational, entertainment, and commercial potentials of screen printing or serigraphy. ![]() It is broadly an object of this invention to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages. ![]() It is thus seen that the state of the art is still of a makeshift nature, especially in the area of providing the desired image pattern and preparing the stencil by photographic exposure. Upon photographic exposure and development, areas corresponding to the provided design will be selectively stopped and a paint or dye material may be squeezed through the open screen meshes in the non-stopped areas. A design may then be provided on the glass plate and the photosensitive emulsion may then be exposed through the design. Rather, a typical technique, even with the most advanced materials, is to provide a wooden support filled with foam rubber, to place the screen with photosensitive emulsion on that support and foam rubber pad, to cover the screen with a sheet of transparent glass and with a sheet of an opaque substance to prevent premature exposure. A further important step in the direction of a more general use of this enjoyable meaningful and useful art came about with the provision and availability of direct photo emulsions, typically of the diazo type, where the photographic development upon exposure is conveniently reduced for the user to a washout under subdued light, whereby the emulsion will be removed from non-stopped areas of the screen.ĭespite these recent advances, the state of the art still fails to provide artists and amateurs alike with a convenient tool and technique to make full use of the artistic, entertainment, recreational and commercial potentials of silk screening or serigraphy. Silk-screen printing or serigraphy is a well-known ancient art involving a stencil method of printing a design through a piece of silk or other fine cloth on which parts of the design not to be printed have been stopped out by an impermeable film.Ĭonsiderable progress has been realized in this art with the availability and use of photosensitive emulsions for selectively stopping areas of the screen upon photographic exposure and development. The subject invention relates to screen printing and stenciling and, more specifically, to screen printing and stencil articles, apparatus and methods. The screen itself is self-supporting between the first and second mounting members. A second elongate screen mounting member is attached to and extends along an opposite second side of the screen. A first elongate screen mounting member is attached to and extends along a first side of the screen. A first area on the screen is stopped and a second area adjacent the first area comprises open meshes of the screen. The screen with shielded photosensitive emulsion and the one or more pattern receiving sheets are combined into a unitary stencil making assembly.A stencil comprises a rectangular screen having meshes. ![]() The photosensitive emulsion is shielded against spurious exposure. One or more sheets are adapted to receive an image pattern through which the photosensitive emulsion is to be exposed. Screen printing and stencil articles, apparatus and methods provide a stencil including a screen and photosensitive emulsion for selectively stopping areas of the screen upon photographic exposure and development.
