Step 5:
Inspect the glass to make sure that it’s clean. Clean glass
makes a better quality screen.
Step 6:
Attach the film positive to the print side. The positive
should be position so that from the squeegee side,
the positive is read left to right. It’s very helpful to
use a preregistration system to make sure each piece
of film is attached to the screen in proper relation to
the other images.
Step 7:
Lay the frame on the glass with the film side down
and the squeegee side up. Next, lay the rope from
inside the screen across the screen edges and in
front of the vacuum hole. The rope creates an escape
route for the air inside the frame, it also keeps the
vacuum port from sealing against the glass.
Step 8:
Close the vacuum lid and latch it into place with the red
latch/seal mechanism. First, turn the power button on.
Second, hit the vacuum switch and allow the vacuum
blanket to complete and draw down around the frame.
Third, set the desired exposure time and then press the
timer switch, which will trigger the light and start the
timer countdown for the amount of time that was
previously set.
