Re: Advice
It all depends on a couple of things...
a) Are YOU the only one going to be making this happen?
b) What is your location like? Square feet, power availibility, accessibility, etc.
c) How much capital are you working with... how much do you want to spend?
Now to get started you'll need the following...
1. A computer with a good printer capable of producing positive transparencies (film)
2. Screens with various mesh counts
3. Emulsion (I use Murakami's Aquasol HV) with a coating bar
4. A "darkroom" so you can coat & store your coated screens ( a red light is safe in there)
5. A light table capable of exposing your screens. (There are many types)
6. A washout tub to washout the unexposed emulsion after exposure and also to reclaim, degrease, and possibly dehaze your screens.
7. A printing press, I suggest a 6 color 6 station press so you can grow into it.
8. A conveyor belt dryer
9. A Flash Dryer
10. Stencil Remover, Degreaser, Haze Remover, and Blockout
