Showcasing Stencil-Making Innovation for Hobbyists and Craftsters

.......who want to learn to screen print t-shirts, pillows, golf towels, cards and everything else in-between in the intimacy of their own homes and/or studio.

Screen printing is a natural outcome of hobbies and crafts that involve textile or graphic arts. It offers an avenue in which to further skill level/experience for fun and/or to turn a hobby or craft into a business. How many of us started that way? I think I know the answer. And how many of our kids are creating/selling t-shirts, hats and more? I pretty much know that answer, too.  Either way, stencil-making is key to printing. And there is a way to ramp up learning and skill level with a revolutionary stencil-making system by RhinoTech for craftsters and hobbyists of any age.

Why do you need a stencil to screen print?  A stencil is the central application to applying a design to the surface of the item that is going to be printed.  A stencil can be made with specialized stencil paper, a thin sheet of plastic, metal, cardboard etc. that results in designs being cut or printed on so that ink can be applied through the incisions or slight open spaces onto the surface.

Traditional stencil-creation involves a lengthy, drawn out process of using a film positive, emulsion, capillary film, exposure and drying time. THE NEWEST PROCESS that is RhinoScreen Dry Stencil Film eliminates these steps enabling a quick and simplified way to create a stencil.

This system boosts the learning curve for hobbyists and craftsters enabling new creative and artistic pursuits in a very short time. Engagement will increase knowledge, skill and experience.  And has the power to fulfill dreams.

Why use RhinoScreen Dry Stencil Film-CH? It is a highly efficient stencil making system that expedites the end result. These are the steps to create a Stencil: 1) create image in a negative format using your own computer; 2) print the design on a laser printer using a RhinoScreen Image Sheet; 3) apply Image Sheet to polyester mesh screen frame with your regular household iron (do not use steam) by ironing Image Sheet onto the  screen frame for 60-90 seconds; 4) once cooled, peel back the Image Sheet that will leave the toner behind on screen and VIOLA, you have created a stencil; 5) block out surrounding area with masking or other tape. You are now ready to screen print on the items of your choice. For textiles or card stock use water-based RhinoAqua Ink from RhinoTech.

And three of the top  reasons to use RhinoScreen Dry Stencil Film-CH is that the paper is recyclable (papers contain no silicone or organic pollutants); the ink is water-based and biodegradable.

A Most Unusual Screen Frame Adhesive Story

Three and a half years ago, a customer called us to relate his highly distinctive and irregular use of RhinoBond, our premier screen frame adhesive. It was an astounding story complete with draw-dropping intrigue, air sucked in, a startled, vocal WOW with a slight head snapping back gesture. We had to take this one in.

And this is the story. During a regular work day and typical break from the harried pace of screen printing and deadlines, the screen printer grabbed a candy bar for a quick pick-me-up. As he bit down on the luscious chocolate bar, he heard a c-r-a-c-k and promptly chomped down on a broken piece of tooth. After his initial confusion, he salvaged the part that had broken off.

Since he had no time for a run to the dentist while under a production deadline, he dried off the piece of tooth, confidently applied some RhinoBond, his most trusted screen frame adhesive, and bonded tooth to tooth. And Viola! Walla! There you have it! Tooth repaired in seconds!

We know that look as you absorb the part about RhinoBond in the mouth, on a tooth. Though we voiced our concern over this use and cautioned him, he assured us that this fix would be permanent and not to worry. So…it was his choice and we wished him good luck.

To our great surprise, we received this email a few weeks ago from the very same, tooth-bonding screen printer that read, “Yes, I am still completely satisfied with your screen frame adhesive. I also used it 3 1/2 years ago to glue a tooth back together and it still holds true. Thanks, RhinoBond." 

And thanks back, Mr. Screen Printing customer. Though we don't recommend RhinoBond for this purpose, it sure speaks to its strength and greatness.

love that smile!
