STEP BY STEPS:

Print your chosen design

1

onto a sheet of printable acetate.

IMPORTANT: Your design needs to be a
black and white image only, remember that
the black areas of your design will be the
areas of your screen which print. The print
needs to be as opaque as you can make it.
If aer printing your design is not opaque,
print a second sheet and lay it over the
top accurately, then tape the two sheets
together ensuring you do not cover any
areas of the design or the area you want to
print.

Ensure you are working in a low light

2

area. If exposed in normal light or

under a light bulb the UV reactive mesh
will become unusable.

Place a sheet of the UV reactive mesh onto
the black opaque plate. Next place your
printed design on top of the mesh and
finally add the clear plastic plate over the
top to sandwich all the elements together
securely.

Turn on the machine, the buon will be
illuminated. Select your chosen speed
and feed the plates into the front of the
machine which will then automatically feed
through.

There are four speed seings on the top
right-hand side of the machine, these will
expose the screens at different speeds.
1 is the slowest speed, 4 is the fastest.

1 = Lowest detail
2 = Average detail
3 = High detail
4 = Highest detail

5

Once the sandwich has run through

3

the machine remove the clear plate
and printed design from the top of the
mesh.

Transfer the mesh into an opaque
container of clean water and submerge.

Ensure the entire suace of the mesh is
covered by the water.

You can now work in normal light

4

conditions.

Using a sponge brush, lightly brush the
suace of the mesh where your design
has been exposed. You will be able to see
the design on the suace if the mesh has
exposed correctly. This will remove the UV
reactive material.

Carefully brush both sides of the mesh
to ensure all of your design is clear when
printing. NOTE: For best results, use a

sponge brush.

Allow your mesh to dry while you

5

pour away the water and clean the
container you used to soak the mesh.

Once the design has finished drying you
can use your bespoke design as you would
any of the pre-made Screen Sensation
Screens®.

If you are creating designs for the Screen
Sensation® Compact or the 5” x 7” apeure
for the original Screen Sensation®, you will
need to cut down your mesh to make it fit
on your frame. You should always create
your awork to the size of the frame you
will be printing with.

PREPARING ARTWORK:

The MYOS280 allows you to create unbelievably detailed screen printing
designs which are completely unique to you.

The detail is only rivalled by the pre-made screens for the Screen
Sensation® and we know you will be stunned with the designs you can
create.

Follow these simple steps to prepare your awork for transferring the
design to your mesh:

1 Only use black and white images to create your

awork. Your design needs to be completely
opaque when printed onto acetate as coloured
designs will not block the light from the machine,
therefore exposing the entire mesh. This will result
in overexposure.

2 If you are using a design that involves thin lines,

test them before making the entire screen. This is
to ensure that they will not be overexposed in the
screen making process and your full design won’t be
ruined.

3 For your first time using the machine, it may be a

good idea to try testing what you can create. You
don’t need to use a whole sheet of the mesh to do
this. Simply cut down your mesh into small pieces
and test through the machine as normal. This will
allow you to experiment without wasting mesh.

4

The maximum size for creating awork to use with
the original Screen Sensation® is 23cm/9” square.
Designs for the Compact or 7 x 5 apeure should
measure 15cm x 10cm/6” x 4”.

The MYOS280 is designed to work with Screen Sensation® UV

Reactive Mesh. Use this product for best results.
