List of Experiments
| Unit | Topics | Lecture |
|---|---|---|
| I | Introduction to process • What is Screen-printing? • Historical perspective of Screen-printing. • Introduction to Screen-printing process. • Tools and materials used in Screen-printing. • Understanding stencil making (manual and photo-emulsion). • Preparing the screen for printing. • Basics of ink application and printing process. | 10 |
| II | Materials and Equipment • Types of Cloths: Silk, polyester, nylon (different mesh counts for fine or bold prints). • Types of Emulsion: Diazo, Dual-cure, Photopolymer. • Types of Inks: Water-based inks, Plastisol inks, Solvent-based inks, Specialty inks (metallic, glow, puff). • Exposing Technique: Light exposure unit, UV lamp, sunlight method. • Paper & Substrates: Cartridge paper, handmade paper, textured paper, fabric, and other printable surfaces. | 10 |
| III | Converting design for printing • Stencilling Method: Preparing stencils manually or digitally for screen-printing. • Converting Design for Printing: Breaking artwork into printable layers. • Breaking Different Colours: Separating design into CMYK or spot colours. • Accuracy: Ensuring clean edges, alignment, and consistency in each layer. • Registration Techniques: Using registration marks and guides for perfect alignment. • Overlapping Methods: Handling overlaps to avoid gaps or unintended blending of colours. ● • Study of natural light and studio light effects. • Understanding reflections on the human body. • Study and rendering of shadows. • Understanding the relationship between light and colour. • Mediums: Acrylic colour, Oil Pastels, Watercolour, Pen & Ink on Paper. | 10 |
| IV | Printing Exercise: Monochrome • Introduction to Monochrome: Understanding single-colour printing and its impact. • Design Preparation: Create a design suitable for one-colour screen-printing. • Stencil Creation: Prepare stencil using cut-out or photo-emulsion technique. • Screen Preparation: Coat, expose, and wash screen for monochrome design. • Printing Process: Apply single ink colour with squeegee on paper/surface. • Drying & Finishing: Properly dry prints to avoid smudging. • Evaluation: Assess clarity, sharpness, and uniformity of the monochrome print. | 10 |
