After completing the introductory course, students should be familiar with the basics of screen printing, allowing them to plan and realize their own projects. This includes preparing the stencils, coating the screens and transferring them to the screen correctly through UV exposure.
Various water-based colour systems are available to print on paper, cardboard and textiles, as well as wood and leather. Flat bed hand-printing machines can be used as aids for printing small formats and posters alike for a streamlined process.
