Three quick steps to Thermo Fax Printed Cards

Three easy steps to screen printing your own holiday cards with the thermofax machine.

1. First do a drawing, a doodle or find a high contrast black and white image.  I like to do loose line drawings with a ultra-fine point sharpie.  Often I am inspired by the drawings of my 7 year old nephews.  They are so honest, pure, and uncensored.  Line drawings are great images to transform into thermo fax screens for easy printing. Then make a carbon based photocopy of your drawing.  Carbon based is made with a copy machine with toner rather than ink, usually a laser printer will work too.
2. Burn the screen in a thermofax machine.  There are many artists online who will do this for you if you do not have a thermofax machine.  Just google thermofax services you will find a number of artists.
3. Set up your workspace and registration system and pull the ink through the screen on to your card stock.  I hand colored the letters after the ink dried.

I got my thermo fax machine in September and look forward to playing with it.  If you think you would like to be part of an online class to explore the thermofax print, then get on this special list below and I will let you know as the course develops.
