Abstract

By presenting own experiences of the researcher, this paper addresses the technological deficiencies in providing the equipment and supplies for printing laboratories, especially porous Screen Printmaking supplies. The aim is enriching and developing the laboratory equipment for fine arts colleges and Egyptian universities, and using them in executing special works. These experiments include several equipment, which are rare inside Egyptian universities' laboratories. The researcher also discusses methods of developing and implementing auxiliary laboratory tools and a set of machines to facilitate printing for artists and students. The research covers several techniques and mechanisms for preparing and operating some materials of screen printmaking, such as photosensitive and light-sensitive bichromate emulsions and chemical compositions. Additionally, the research addresses several printing experiments using innovative mechanisms to measure their suitability for expressive and artistic aspects. Finally, the research discusses how to provide artists with great creative and expressive abilities in modelling their works.
