Choose the Right Stencil for Your Project:
The EZScreen kit provides two stencil options to suit diverse project needs:
Standard Stencils: These are the workhorse of the screen printing kit, ideal for general stenciling and screen printing applications. Their larger mesh openings are perfectly suited for paints and inks containing larger pigments, such as opaque inks and ceramic under-glazes. Despite their robust nature, Standard stencils are capable of capturing impressive detail, making them excellent for screen printing on fabric, t-shirts, wood, ceramics, pottery, bisque, and clay.
HiDef Stencils: When intricate detail is paramount, HiDef stencils are the answer. Featuring a higher mesh count, these stencils excel at reproducing detailed images, fine lines, and halftone patterns. They are specifically recommended for smooth, hard surfaces like glass, plastic, and metal, where they deliver exceptional detail and a less visible mesh pattern compared to Standard stencils. It’s important to note that some paints, particularly metallic or heavy opaque inks, may not be compatible with HiDef stencils due to their finer mesh.
