QUESTIONS? Email: piper@stationnorthtoollibrary.org
- HUH? How do I do this? Read steps above and email us before you by a ticket if you are still scratching your head.
- Why can I only email a Black&White image? The machine that "burns" the screen can only read black and white - no grayscale!!!
- Why can I only screen print with 1-color on my items? The kind of screens that are printed with the thermofax and the time alloted for this super basic 2-hour class are best suited for 1-color printing.
- What colors can I print with? We will have a variety of colors on hand for you to print with during the workshop only - Black/White/Bright colors/Dark colors.
- What types of items can I print on? Sturdy fabrics, canvas, bags, tees, other clothing, cardstock, anything smooth! Ask us prior if you aren't sure...
- What color items can I print ON? Depends, you can't print white ink on a white shirt, or black ink on a black shirt, otherwise, get wild, have fun with what's at your disposal.
- But I really really want to print multiple colors for holiday cards! Go to Baltimore Print Studios - they are rad and better set up for that :) But we love you too.
