BookmarkScreen Coating Techniques to Assure Success – You will hear as many coating technique suggestions as there are novice screenprinters and while most will get an image on the screen, they don’t all work well. In reality, as with all things, there can be only one way to do anything right. So, what is it?
Follow the simple steps in this article and you will be on your way to producing highly accurate stencils, higher quality, more productivity and reduced cost in no time. You will learn the best practice method of applying emulsion that all the best printers are using to achieve the highest quality work. We will take through each step carefully.
We will help you in choosing the right tools and products and we will explain not only “how” but “why” these work. We explain everything from proper degreasing and what products work best, filling the scoopcoater (and which side works best), why the side of the mesh you start on determines the final outcome of your ink deposit, which side to end on (most printers finish wrong), how and why to make face coats, why the Rz (smoothness) factor is important even for textile printers, how the emulsion over mesh ratio (EOM) works and why you need to understand it, how to improve your resolution with thick stencils and how and why an electronic thickness gauge can make a drastic difference in your outcome. And, we finish with one last tidbit about friction that will make a huge difference in your printing speed.
If you only read one article on screenprinting, this is the one that you should read. It will make a big, big difference in the way in which you think about screenprinting.

About the Author
Bill Hood is the author of over 30 international bestsellers that have changed the way people think about the screenprinting process and their work. His trademarked “One Hit White™” has been taught to thousands of attendees at the School of Screenprinting, in seminars and workshops since 1983 and out of that training he produced “Achieving One Hit White™”, which is the most popular ebook ever published for the industry, and Secrets to Profitable Pricing in which he explains the formula for pricing on textile products is running a close second.
His latest book is titled, “Parallelism and Geometric Plane,” and is the fastest selling book of his career. In this book he details the process of aligning any screenprinting press to lower setup times to one minute per color, achieve a balanced ink deposit, perfect the registration and much more. “Becoming a World Class Operator,” challenges you to stand up, do work that matters and race to the top instead of the bottom. More than that, though, the book outlines a message change in our industry, a fundamental shift in how to grow your business sensibly without going bankrupt.
In addition to being a veteran of the screenprinting, having been born to a screenprinting father, Bill is the founder of the internationally acclaimed School of Screenprinting, where he has trained thousands of highly successful screenprinters and he continues to consult with screenprinters worldwide through Bill Hood Consulting. Bill currently splits his time between residences in Cuernavaca, Mexico and Austin, Texas.
