Screen Printing images onto aluminium plate

In order to etch a photographic image onto a plate, first the images need to be exposed onto a screen. I chose two pictures from some of those I found of Castle Bromwich workers during the war. The screen was placed into one of the screen beds at Margaret Street print room.

Using a squeegee a resist solution is pulled across the screen leaving the image on the plate.

These are then ready to etch once they are dry.
