So I'm new to this and I picked up on the process but I'm running into a few minor problems.
Is there a good quick way of lining up the screens to the film on multiple color print jobs without a ruler.
It's time consuming to measure each distance when attaching the film on the screen before burning the image onto it.
For example if I have a design of 3 colors, I want to line up each color separation of the film in the same spot on each screen..
Is there a good technique?

A lot of print shops use lay up lines, basically print a corner and side line in registration colour which you marry up to the edge of the screen frame when burning.

Ryonet makes an alignment board that works well. I believe they may
Even have a video of it on you tube.
