From Jones Print Technologies in Melbourne:
Good quality, affordable aluminium screens with welded corners in 43T mesh (fabric), 60-77T mesh (ok for fabric, better for paper) & higher mesh counts (for paper & non-absorbent surfaces). In terms of size, I prefer No 2 with outer frame dimensions 50 x 60cm.
Good quality, affordable squeegees in a variety of durometers with aluminium handles.
Scoop coaters.
1L and 4L tubs or Permaset Aqua and Permaset Supercover inks.
A variety of UV emulsions and strippers, including Murakami TXR UV emulsion and Franmar generic stripper concentrate.
