DIY Screen Printing drying system

Screen printing can take up a lot of space if you are pulling multiple prints. And those prints need a place to dry.

I have used the floor.

I have use table tops and sheets of foam core for horizontal drying.

And recently I figured out a quick, effective system that you can use in your home/studio. It is a modified clothes line made with a long piece of cord and bull clips.

In this quick video I show you how to wrap the cord around the clip handles to hold it in place, when the cord is stretched and tied between two sturdy items.

 

You can tie the the print drying line between stable shelvesw or two heavily weighted chairs. (Make sure you tie the ends of the cord to something that will not fall over with the weight of your prints.)
