Thermofax machine simplifies screen printing

Thermofax machines were used to make copies in the 1990’s I think. Now they are treasures to mixed media artists, printmakers and tattoo artists.

These big bulky machines can makes screens for printing in a matter of seconds. All you do is place a carbon based copy against the emulation coated screen and run it through the machine. Watch the video.

You can buy these machines and the emulsion coated screens from Welsh Products. I got my machine from them a few years ago.

Or I do offer a starter kit of 8 screens. It is a nice way to get started, and to see if you actually like and would use the process in your art making.

For example, I added the spirograph flower design to this gelatin monotype with a thermofax screen from the starter kit.

I used 4 of the screens in the kit to print this overall random pattern on this fabric, then sewed it into a bag.

I used the dragonfly screen to make a series of cards. So I am sure that you could create some beautiful images with the 8 designs that come with the thermofax starter kit.

Check out the details and order your kit today and you will be printing next week.
