Second step

Preparing a Positive:
While waiting for step one, create  a design for printing.
Preparing a positive, means that the exposing silk screen needs a design that is black on a transparent paper. There is different ways to do so, but we are gona use the easiest way.
Materials:

• Black marker.
• Clear tape.
• Blank Transparency paper

Tape the blank transparency paper to the table where your working at with clear tape. Choose any design that you want to print on a t-shirt. Once you have picked the design draw the design/drawing in the blank transparency using the black marker. If your artistic abilities are not so great, you can print the design/drawing from the computer. Place it behind the transparency and trace the design/drawing.

Remember for this step the design/artwork has to be all black. All the clear areas of the positive allow ultra violet light to pass trhough it. All the dark areas of the positive block the ultra violet light and leave the photo reactant emulsion on the background unharden.  All of the soft areas left unharden when sprayed with water will rinse out, leaving a hole in the mesh were ink can pass through.
