SUMMARY:S35 Special FX Camp &#8211\; Screen Making for Special Effects Printing
DESCRIPTION:Why Someone Should Come\nSpecial effects printing depends on screens that are engineered for the effect. Faux appliqué\, puff\, high-density\, gel\, and other dimensional or textured prints require the right mesh\, stencil thickness\, exposure\, coating consistency\, and screen-room discipline. Kevin Kauth brings deep mesh and emulsion experience to this session\, helping attendees understand why the screen room is the foundation of every successful special effects print and how small inconsistencies in reclaiming\, coating\, drying\, and exposing can create major production problems on press.\nWho Should Come\nThis session is designed for screen makers\, press operators\, production managers\, shop owners\, and decorators who want to improve special effects results by strengthening their screen room. It is especially valuable for shops that struggle with underexposed screens\, stencil breakdown\, poor ink deposit\, inconsistent edge definition\, weak EOM control\, or difficulty producing screens that hold up to thick inks and specialty applications.\nWhat They Will Learn\n\nScreen-Room Consistency: Learn why repeatable reclaiming\, degreasing\, coating\, drying\, exposure\, and washout procedures are essential for special effects printing.\nEOM and Stencil Thickness: Understand Emulsion Over Mesh\, why stencil thickness matters\, and how coating technique\, emulsion choice\, and film systems affect ink deposit.\nExposure Best Practices: Learn how underexposure creates soft stencils\, reduced durability\, premature breakdown\, and inconsistent results\, especially with demanding specialty jobs.\nMesh and Emulsion Matching: Discover how mesh count\, thread diameter\, tension\, emulsion type\, capillary film\, and exposure tools influence puff\, HD\, faux appliqué\, and textured prints.\nTroubleshooting Screen Failures: Learn how to diagnose pinholes\, sawtoothing\, weak edges\, poor detail\, stencil wear\, and inconsistent deposits before those issues become production failures.
