not a negative, but a transparency. the darkened part is where the screen will let the paint through.

Ah, I see. I can steal some of those from work.

if you buy a kit, it will have instructions on how to get the screen prepared. it's good to get a thin piece of glass about the size of the screen to hold the transparency down while it's burning the image onto the screen.

yeah....just call me this weekend...

its north of the I-10

get TWO identical negatives and tape them together-- it makes it a better negative.

remember when you expose the screen the emulsion underneath the dark parts on your negative will stay soluble and rinse out.....so the DARK parts are where the ink will be.....or where the ink will get pushed through with the squeegee.
