Hi there,
I was just wondering if anyone has had experience in screen printing/silk screening their front panels? I am so fed up with safmat and lazertran methods that this seems like the only logical next step.
I have made and exposed the screen with no problem and have had success print t-shirts before.
I have however never printed onto metal before.
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions? I am printing onto a standard 19" brushed aluminium front panel. I am not sure about what paint/ink to be using and what the preferred method is in applying the ink/paint with the screen. So far I am getting blotchy and unclear results. Never had a problem with t shirts.
I have spent more time trying to work out a good front panel printing soluton than I have on actually building each project!
Appreciate any ideas anyone has....
