Screen Printing

Screen printing brings crisp lettering, fine line art, and repeatable imagery to glass. This category carries Color Line silk screen paste, a ready to use enamel paste made for printing on glass that becomes permanent once kiln fired.

What's in this category at AGS

The range covers Color Line silk screen paste in 5.3 oz jars across ten colors: black, white, mixing white, carmine, royal blue, aquamarine, yellow, green, brown, and orange. An 8.5 oz Silk Screen Medium rounds out the line for adjusting paste consistency.

Working with silk screen paste

Pull the paste through a silk screen or stencil for sharp, detailed prints, or apply it with a brush or sponge for freehand work. The paste holds fine detail well, which makes it a favorite for text, logos, and repeating patterns on fused glass. Use mixing white to lighten any color, and keep the medium on hand to bring paste back to a smooth working consistency.

Firing notes

Color Line paste must be kiln fired to become permanent and dishwasher durable. Let prints dry fully before firing, and fire test a sample first, since final color and surface depend on your schedule and glass. Once fired, the printed design is fused into the surface rather than sitting on top of it.
