Blend with acrylics for smooth screenprinting with extended open time
Working with silkscreens means fighting the clock, acrylic paint naturally wants to dry faster than you can pull your squeegee. Golden formulated this medium specifically to solve that problem. Extended open time keeps paint fluid in the screen while you position, align, and print, preventing the dried-paint blockages that ruin screens and waste materials.
Mix this water-borne acrylic medium directly into your Golden acrylics to achieve proper viscosity for screen printing while maintaining color intensity. The formulation flows smoothly through mesh without bleeding, producing clean edges on paper, wood panels, fabric, and other porous surfaces. You maintain control over registration across multiple passes without rushing through color separations or worrying about premature drying mid-print.
The medium's chemistry balances working time against final cure, giving you flexibility during printing while still achieving permanent adhesion once dry. Screen printers working on edition runs particularly value this, you can maintain consistent results across dozens of prints without constantly cleaning partially-dried paint from your screens. Whether you're printing posters, creating textile designs, or incorporating screen-printed elements into mixed media work, this medium transforms standard acrylics into reliable screen printing ink.
