HELLO FELLOW MEMBERS I HAVE A SIGN SHOP 3 YRS NOW. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A SCREEN PRINTING STARTER KIT. AND WAS WONDERING HAS ANYBODY USED A VINYL CUTTER AND USE A DECAL FOR BURNING YOUR SCREENS. THANK YOU ED...

A vinyl stencil will work for short runs but is generally not the best method for creating screens- it wont hold up long.

Get a sample of rubylith from a screenprinting supplier, and see if it works with your cutter. If it does, you can definitely use that to expose a screen.

Edwin, how exactly are you planning on using the cutter to "burn" your screens? I thought you may want to cut vinyl and then apply it to the print side of a blank screen. Lewis is right on the rubylith though.
