I'm finally getting into deck printing, but am stuck on how to exposed my custom frames. Do I just go about it like normal flat screens or is there a specific way??
Thanks for the help, or the smack in the forehead  |

I've been just pondering this exact same thing as this will be my next venture.
I'm guessing that it may be a 3 bulb setup, one in the middle, one angled over the tail, one angled over the nose.
But, actually, I have no idea if that's correct. Just my best guess.
hopefully someone will chime in. |

im making frames out of 1/8 by 1/2 inch steel with holes every 3 inches.i will be gluing the mesh stretched to 8 newtons from an oversized roller frame to this frame.once the glue is dry i cut it off from the roller frame.then expose flat. after that i will screw the metal frame to the wooden frame that matches the contour of the deck being printed.this method will allow flat exposure.
the hard part will mastering the printing process.I have only done flat screening so far with a 70 duro squeegee.hopefully the 60 duro is easier. |

as far as printing squeegees, i just use the blade with no handle. it makes it really easy to print with and i can form it to the concave of the board.

| I have two durometers of squeegees. i have a really flexible one and a stiffer one. i find the stiffer one is good to use for wider boards and the softer one for smaller boards, it just bends a lot easier on the smaller decks. |
