WHY DO I NEED SPECIAL PAINT FOR SCREEN PRINTING?
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Plaid Simply Screen paint is formulated specifically for screen painting. This means it stays wet longer so it won’t dry on your screen. Regular craft and acrylic paint will dry too quickly on your thermofax screen and damage it, preventing you from printing with it. Screen printing paint is required for use with the screens.
