Turn on the machine, open the XCS file in the xTool Creative Space. Place the pre-coated screen tightly on the frame inside the machine (snap the clips onto the locator). First, install the 20W laser head; then move the laser head above the pre-coated screen and click to measure the distance, calibrate the processing range; finally confirm and adjust the settings to prepare for engraving.

After processing, take out the engraved pre-coated screen frame and snap it into the screen printing machine, fix the frame.

Prepare the colors you need, scraper, squeegee, and the items to be printed.

Adjust the position of the substrate, confirm the printing position, and evenly place your favorite color on the pattern. If you want to try new ways, you can use two colors to mix, which might result in unexpected effects!

Wait for the first layer of color to dry, then remove the first layer screen and install the second layer screen to continue printing. Wait for the second layer to dry before printing the third layer.

Hold the squeegee with both hands, apply even force and scrape from top to bottom 1-2 times. Check if there are any areas that were missed and supplement as needed.

The work is complete. Frame it and decorate your room!

Notes

1. The pre-coated screen must be tightly stretched on the frame, otherwise, the engraved pattern will deform.

2. If you want to save the pre-coated screen for next use, clean the paint on both sides of the pre-coated screen with water and let it dry.

3. For multi-layer screen printing cases, ensure alignment on the locator for engraving. During printing, wait for one layer to dry before continuing with the next layer.
