nancylee Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hi all, THere is a video on the site where thermofax screens are used, but really, no explanation given rather than put them on evenly. What are they? I can't find anything about that in relation to pottery. The woman put a floral dot design on the mug, it seemed to transfer color onto the mug. Is the paint put on the screen? Is it heated on when the screen is made? Do any of you do this? It seems to be a way to get consistent design elements, if that is what I want. Thanks, Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bciskepottery Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 This is a video clip of Judy Pierce using a thermofax-type device to make a screen. The units are only sold in Australia/Japan, unfortunately. There are places you can send/email a file with your drawings/images and they will burn you a thermofax -- costs around $11 to $15/page. A thermofax machine runs about $1500.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
