Wow. Great effect Susan. Really loving these videos. Thank you so much for making them.
way cool!
On ne comprend pas bien la technique au début de la démonstration.
I'm absolutely thrilled with the results I'm getting with this process, it's beautiful, and the amount of subtle detail you can achieve is gorgeous.
In figuring out how to make a screen stencil, I found the EZScreen Print website helpful. I ordered some of their stencils, and it's a pretty straight forward process. I live in the northwest of the US where it's cloudy a lot, so I've been using a UV exposure unit. The EZScreen Print product works really well, it's totally clear when you've exposed it correctly (3 minutes with my unit). With the standard screen, the Akua carborundum Gel applies well and evenly.
I would be interested to hear here how to make a machine-based stencil. Thanks.
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos
sick clip akua keep it up
I wish you would start from the beginning steps, I'm just learning and don't really get what Carborundum Gel is from this video.
Thanks for the feedback Sally! You can find more detailed information on our website that features FAQ's and introductory instructions here: www.akuainks.com/akua-carborundum-gel

I am a Susan fan boy
I don't get it. Lots of questions go unanswered. Are there stencils used? How are the stencils made? Can Carborundum Gel be used without a stencil? Etc, etc.
Uhmm this was confusing... what was the first step with the gel for?
I really don't understand the technique, where should I read about it...what it is this gel made of
just love that slim line lightweight squeegee - Where can we buy that please?
Can you print a carborundum plate with traditional oil based ink?

super,super cool!!!!!
Fabulous!
How long does it take to dry before you can print with it?
Found this: www.speedballart.com/our-product-lines/speedball-printmaking/akua-printmaking/akua-carborundum-gel-for-platemaking/; includes drying time estimates
What kind of stencil is Susan using in the demo? She mentions silkscreen and plastic...
That is correct, Susan uses both a silkscreen and machine-made plastic stencil in this video. Let me know if you have any other questions
The silkscreen was made from a film positive printed on an inkjet printer and exposed to a coated screen. The mesh used is 110 monofilament.
Would the first step in this video (www.wikihow.com/Make-Silk-Screen-Stencils)explain how this stencil is made? I am most interested in making my own from my own photographs, While I have printed for years, I have never used a silkscreen stencil.Thank you for your feedback .

I'm afraid this link no longer works.
How do you clean the carborundum plate when you are done printing, or do you?
I don't think you clean it!
