Speedball - Beginner Screen Printing Craft Vinyl Kit

Beginner Screen Printing Craft Vinyl Kit

Create custom screen prints at home using vinyl stencils, no chemicals needed

Vinyl cutters already own the perfect tool for creating screen printing stencils, they just need the right workflow. This kit connects those dots, using craft vinyl as blocking material instead of traditional photo emulsion or drawing fluid. Cut your design, transfer it to mesh, squeegee ink through the open areas. No UV exposure units, no chemical washout, no darkroom required.

The system works because craft vinyl adheres firmly enough to block ink passage while remaining removable for cleanup. Jennifer Sanderson developed this approach specifically for crafters transitioning from heat transfer vinyl to actual screen printing, where you can print on materials that would melt under a heat press. The included 10×14-inch wood frame provides real screen printing mechanics, proper squeegee angle, consistent pressure, the satisfying pull of ink through mesh. Four ounces of fabric ink covers multiple prints while you learn tension control and registration.

Parchment paper protects your work surface. Transfer tape positions vinyl precisely on mesh. The craft stick helps burnish vinyl for secure adhesion. Instructions walk through the complete process from design preparation through printing and cleanup. You'll produce actual screen printed results using equipment you already understand, expanding what you can make without investing in traditional screen printing chemistry.
