GLOW IN THE DARK SCREEN PRINT
Did you know that the intensity of the glow is tied to the brightness of the color behind it?
Screen printing sunlight stencils demonstrates how the ink colour will affect the results of the glow.
First, you need to set up on press.
With speciality inks like the glow, static frames with an 32T mesh .are best practice.
Because you want to ensure that the glow completely covers the print without any issues.
We used a 43t thin thread mesh because the thin thread allowed a substantial amount of ink to pass while maintaining more detail.
If color brightness affects how much the glow illuminates, it’s safe to say that you’ll want bright, vibrant inks
specifically the white, gold, and bright red.
If you really want the glow to shine, lay a thicker layer of ink on the shirt
To achieve that, we uses a 60 durometer squeegee since it has a softer edge and offers a better ink deposit.
SCREEN PRINT
Time to Screen print
First print that white base.
We do two passes and flash it.
Next we prints the silver where we also do two passes and flash it.
And we do the same method with the bright pink.
With this print, we are pulling the squeegee because it helps produce a heavier ink deposit, which will help intensify the glow later.
Lastly, we cover the whole print with the glow.
we print the glow on last because we want the whole print to glow.
If you wanted only certain aspects of the print to glow, you would print the glow on those parts of the Screen print and then continue printing the rest.
