Yupo Paper Benefits
Because of its synthetic composition, Yupo Paper has some distinct advantages over other types of paper when it comes to screen printing. One of the key benefits of Yupo Paper is its smooth surface. Yupo paper is very smooth and slick. This makes it perfect for screen printing because it allows for very fine details and crisp lines. You can also print on either side unlike Freezer Paper!
How to create your stencil
Creating a stencil is super easy and can be done by anyone, no matter the skill level in Screen Printing. You can create a stencil in these 3 Simple Steps:
- Design
Begin by designing your artwork on a piece of paper or using graphic design software, ensuring it fits within the desired print area. Unlike Freezer Paper, you are able to use both sides of the Yupo Paper, meaning you don't have to worry about any mirroring, especially for text or symmetrical designs.
- Tracing
Place the Yupo Paper on a flat surface and trace or draw your design.
- Ready to Print
Cut out the design carefully using a craft knife. Now position the stencil on the screen mesh on the print side side (not where the ink sits) ensuring it is aligned with the desired print area. Secure the Yupo Paper stencil to the screen using tape, and that's it! You are now ready for printing.
