Thermofax screens are designed to print images onto both paper and cloth. They are different from the more traditional silk screens in that they are easier to use, less expensive, and quicker to prepare. Anyone interested in surface design and textile arts can use these screens quite easily.
Dye discharge media, adhesives, and textile paints can all be used with the screens, and that allows people who have them to make quilts, bags, clothing, home textiles, and home furnishings, among other things. Versatility is the key with these screens. The screens are created from black and white images using a Thermofax machine, which is an early version of a photocopy machine. Each one is made by hand and put in a sturdy frame of either steel or plastic. At that point, they’re ready for a screen printer to print textural marks or finely-detailed images onto any chosen surface.
No matter what inks you plan to use or what your experience is with screen printing, Thermofax screens can be an easy and convenient way to do business.
