Fit and buying advice

This kit fits someone who wants to make simple cut shapes and also try painting the image onto the screen. If your regular starting point is fine digital artwork that you want to expose as a film positive, compare a photographic stencil kit instead.

Questions about this tool

What is the difference between the two methods?

A cut paper stencil defines the print with its cutout. The drawing fluid method lets you paint the image on the screen and use filler to block the rest.

Which black ink should I choose?

The kit includes black fabric and black acrylic screen inks. Follow the maker’s guidance for the substrate and finish you need.

Does it include a lamp?

These two methods use the paper or the fluid-and-filler stencil workflow. The included equipment has no exposure lamp.
