Thermofax Screens
Thermofax screens are used to print images onto cloth or paper.
The screens are easier to use, faster to prepare and cheaper than traditional silk screens and they are the perfect choice for textile artists and anyone interested in surface design. They can be used with textile paints, dye discharge media and adhesives for metallic foiling to create highly original cloth for use in art textiles, quilts, clothing, bags, home furnishings etc.
NEW: More thermofax-screen samples have been added to the gallery, and you can now buy pearlescent inks online.
Using a Thermofax machine (an early version of today's photocopy machines), the screens are made from black and white images - line drawings, photographs, rubbings, computer-generated images, graphic marks, text, etc. Every screen is prepared by hand and mounted in a sturdy plastic or steel frame ready for you to print finely detailed images or textural marks onto your chosen surface.
Try thermofax printing for yourself - just click on the Products page and choose from our selection of Ready-made screens and Special edition screens. You can also send your own images to be made into Custom screens. Instructions for use are supplied with all orders.
