Expose to sunlight for 45 seconds.

On Friday morning, Shan and I went to a local screen printing supply shop to find out what we were doing wrong with our screen printing. No matter what we tried we just couldn't seem to get the process right for the new emulsion technique we were trying.

I came across this company a few weeks ago when I was looking for a Valentine's surprise for Shan. I found a company who did screen printing lessons in Brisbane, but only the basic, stencil technique. However she was very lovely and pointed me in the direction of a company that she thought could help.

Turns out the guys at the Gabba Screen Printing Supplies place are totally awesome! We got there at 9am and he took us through the entire process from start to finish, showing us each step we could be getting wrong, and answered all of our questions no matter how simple or silly we thought they were. He spent an hour and a half with us and even gave us printouts of descriptions on how to build the best light boxes. We will definitely be going back there for all of our suplies from now on.

Shan listens intently...

The cutest part of the demonstration was how much Shan kept smiling through the whole thing. She doesn't get too overly excited about many things in front of strangers but her excitement was totally infectious and we went home really pumped knowing our t-shirt empire dream was back on track to becoming a reality.
