Default Re-use of a screen?
Can I re-use a screen to apply a different image? Or do I need to use a different screen? Thanks.

If you properly reclaim the screen, you can reuse it hundreds of times.

It can be reused. You first must reclaim it, which removes the emulsion that is on it now. Then you would coat it again and start fresh.

You will need special chemicals to remove the emulsion. Any screenprinting supplier will have it.
