Screen Printing Supplies ?

Post by tvdbon »

Hi Everybody,

I've been wanting to try screenprinting for a while not with the idea of putting some nice graphics on my pc. But I can't seem to find any suppliers for screen printing supplies. Does anybody on the forums do screen printing or know where I can get the supplies locally ?

Sorry I don't think anyone has done screen printing on something onto their box before. I'll see if I can find someone or a contact at least. From what I remember, screen printing is expensive and you can only do like 5 colours or something...

Well, as far I can gather you only need a screen, some photo emulsion and some ink and then you can do atleast basic stuff. The only problem is that I can't seem to find anything locally ? :(

There are a couple of companys in Gauteng that could help with supplies.

1. Delta7 in Pretoria
2. Screenmore supplies in JHB
3. Maziey - has limited stock on inks, emulsion and cleaners.
