Speedball - Intermediate Screen Printing Kit

Intermediate Screen Printing Kit

Explore two professional screen printing techniques with one complete kit

Two screen printing methods in one kit bridges the gap between basic stencil techniques and professional photo emulsion work. Drawing fluid and screen filler let you create gestural, hand-drawn imagery directly on the mesh, perfect for experimental approaches where spontaneity matters. Photo emulsion opens up fine detail and photographic reproduction, requiring more preparation but delivering precision impossible with hand-cut stencils. Having both systems available means you can match technique to concept rather than forcing ideas into whatever method you happen to own.

The 10"x14" wooden frame provides enough working area for substantial prints while remaining manageable for solo printing sessions. Speedball includes fabric inks in black and red, their standard workhorse formulations that cure reliably on cotton and blends without heat-setting equipment. The Red Baron squeegee features the firm durometer needed for consistent ink deposit, while the included brush and craft sticks handle emulsion coating and detail work during screen preparation.

Complete chemical supplies cover both processes: drawing fluid and filler for hand-worked imagery, diazo emulsion with sensitizer for photographic stencils, plus dedicated removers and screen cleaner for proper maintenance between projects. The instruction guide walks through both techniques with clarity, though hands-on practice remains essential for developing the timing and pressure that separate muddy prints from clean ones.
