What Type of Ink to Buy for Screen Printing

Hi, this is Mark Kneeskern, on behalf of Expert Village. And in this clip I'm going to show you how to get a squeegee and how to use a squeegee for screen printing. A squeegee is this device right here. Which has a soft rubber edge on it. And its used in screen printing to push the ink through the screen and the design on whatever surface you are screen printing onto. And, when you do that, you should use firm strokes, with this. You can get squeegees that are really long, or really short. You can get cheap ones that are plastic, or you can get wood ones that are more expensive, but nicer. It all depends on what your project is and how large you need to go. You can buy these online in a lot of different places. Art sites or Ebay or where ever. Or you could possibly make one yourself. You just have to do some research on the internet, find out what material you need and do it your self. And that's how you get a squeegee and use one for screen printing.
