Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to the Jacquard Screen Printing Kit for Beginners, the Speedball kit offers a wider color selection and easier cleanup with water-based inks. It also competes with the Cra-Z-Art Screen Printing Kit but provides higher-quality stencils and a more durable screen frame for repeated use.

How to use it

1. Choose a design and cut it from the included stencil sheets using a craft knife.
2. Place the stencil onto the fabric and position the screen frame over it.
3. Apply a small amount of Speedball ink across the top of the screen.
4. Use the squeegee to pull the ink firmly across the screen, covering the stencil area.
5. Lift the screen carefully and allow the print to air-dry for 15 minutes.
6. Heat-set the design with an iron or clothes dryer for permanent adhesion.
