Theoretically, screen printing can be done on all materials except air and water. However, based on our precision requirements and our ink characteristics, we recommend paper, fabric, silk, wood, acrylic, metal, glass, and ceramics. These materials have been thoroughly tested, but you can also try other materials and find the best settings. Shop materials here.

We use stainless steel screens, coated with photosensitive adhesive for curing, and the edges are wrapped in paper. Therefore, if we can make a wire mesh of the same size and specification according to this method, it can be placed inside the frame.

If you are already a professional screen printing enthusiast, you can try to remove the coating and then add emulsion again. Because our coating composition is completely consistent with the coating on the common screen - they are all cured with photosensitive glue. The main purpose of screen printing machines is to meet the needs of beginners to get started quickly, so we will persist in finding ways to lower the entry threshold for beginners.

Yes, the coated screen is reusable. Each screen is capable of supporting at least a hundred prints. You can reuse the design, but it requires an extra step. To do this, you need to remove the existing emulsion using an emulsion remover and then reapply a new emulsion. This step may fail and you will need to explore adjusting the laser parameters again. In theory, this process allows for endless reuse, but in practice, the mesh will eventually degrade, and you will need to replace it. To simplify this process and avoid extra work, consider buying pre-coated screens from xTool, which offers great prices.

Yes, it can be cleaned and reclaimed. Water-based ink can be rinsed with water. If some ink remains, gently brush with a soft brush. For dried, stubborn ink, soak the screen in water overnight before washing. Use non-corrosive detergents for thorough cleaning. Test on a small area first to avoid damage. Rinse with water and let the screen dry naturally or use compressed air. Follow all safety guidelines for any chemical cleaner, work in a well-ventilated area, and avoid using hard or sharp tools to prevent screen damage. These steps may fail and you will need to adjust the laser parameters again. Over time the screen may wrinkle and the mesh degrade. For greater simplicity and efficiency, consider buying pre-coated screens from xTool, which offers great prices.
