the trials of not using photo-emulsion

Here we have the real pain of my choice not to use photo-emulsion. These are test prints of the screens I am planning to use for shirt printing.

All the noise in the print is a consequence of the screen not being properly sealed after my first application. I would need to do two (or probably more like three) applications (including all the arduous cutting in). This really cramps my style man!

I originally chose not to use photo-emulsion because the miracle that is photo-sensitive medium relies on Potassium Dichromate which is rated as extremely hazardous and cancer causing. Lovely.

... anyhow, I'm screwed. I need a simpler way to produce these screens. It does help to be able to print on the silkscreen with the laser printer. But this issue of bad sealing is making me crazy.
