Ok, i've had a look through some suggested threads, but i could do with a definitive answer realy, before i pull what's left of my hair out.
I have a design, i've separated the colours, thanks to Tim's youtube vid, and today i tried printing them onto acetate. The ink doesn't like acetate by the looks of it, it has reacted like oil and water so there's no way i can use these acetates to develope my screens.
Q1) Is acetate the right media for doing this?
Q2) Do i need special ink to print onto acetate?
Q3) What's the alternative media to use?

many thanks in advance,

Alex.

you must use the right kind of transparency film for your printer..if you are going to use inkjet you must buy acetate for inkjet..it has a rougher side where your ink will be absorbed..

as simple as that eh?

Thanks chard, i'll have a look and see if i can get some tomorrow. Any suggestions for suppliers, or would any art supplies shop do it?

You need waterproof film. Ryonet sells it (R-film)
