 *[https://merchmakr.com/products/screen-burning-service MerchMakr Screen Burning Service] - Local (Tampa) makers who invented the MerchMakr system and will make it SUPER easy for you to get started with screenprinting. If you only need one screen, this is cheaper than buying a blank screen + emulsion + transparencies!
 *[http://www.neverthelessscreenprintingsupplies.com/18-x-20-pre-burned-110-mesh-screen/ Never The Less Screenprinting Supplies] - Andrew Rudolph used them, and was happy. Note that placement is critical since the screen size is larger. We also have discussed that it might be better to rotate the art 90 degrees so that the screen size front to back is more similar to the MerchMakr screen.

 For the maker that doesn't have time to do the darkroom processes, consider ordering a pre-burnt screen. Note these links are to the companies - you still need to decide which size, which mesh count, etc. Note that if you don't order the MerchMakr screens, they won't have the alignment tab for the MerchMakr system, but that isn't a big deal for a single color shirt.

+=General Policies for the Screen Printing Zone=
 Note really a policy, but please note that this stuff is messy and can be expensive. Please ask Ian if you want to start screenprinting so that we can make sure you are properly trained, and we set you up for success. You will need to provide your own screens and consumables, BUT if its something we already stock we can prorate the cost of the consumables to reduce the cost to you.
