Over a year ago, I made several thermofax printing screens at the Lowell Fiber Studio with Linda Dunn. I was excited to use them but some how I played with a few, but then went back to gelatin printing.
I love the details that are possible with screen printing. I have the stuff to do emulsions and burn screens but never got to it. I have made a few drawing fluid screens that I like but the line quality it definitely rougher.
I like the combination of abstract marks from the brayer and the details of the thermo fax screen. I like that I can turn a high contrast photo or a doodle drawing into a screen and make multiple impressions.
If you want to give thermo fax printing a try, I have a few of my used screens for sale in my Etsy shop StudioGermain. Get one and print it on fabric, paper, prints, cards and more.
