When I was introduced to thermofax printing a decade or so ago by Claire Benn and Leslie Morgan of Committed to Cloth, I was thrilled to have discovered a simple and effective way to print personal imagery onto my own hand-dyed fabrics. It worked so well for me that in 2006, I bought one of the new thermal imager machines and launched the Thermofax Screens business making custom screens and offering a small range of ready-made designs.
Since then, the business has grown to include dozens of ready-made screen designs plus a range of textile inks and other related products while the custom screen service continues to be a large part of the business. As the word has spread and more and more people have discovered how versatile the screens can be.
Thermofax Screens is primarily a mail order business but I do trade at a few shows including the Festival of Quilts.
