I discovered your well made video just in time. My screens are a little too small and not so well made, so I was planning to make new ones. Here I go! Thanks!

I found a big wooden frame at Michael's for $8, so didn't need to assemble from pieces. Just got the fiberglass mesh today! Now to staple mesh on and try it out, hopefully will reduce major curling of my fiber prints.

Thank for this video; I had drying screens built about the same way but, as I feared that some rust will deposit on the staples after staying long times in the humid atmosphere of Darkroom, I covered them with some waterproof gaffer tape. Photographic cheers from France, Jean

I hope the tape works. You could cover them with a resin, too, but I chose to use stainless steel staples to minimize corrosion.

An amazon link would be useful, as I am not 100% what you are using for the screen material, great videos though. Drying screens are my next largish upgrade for my darkroom, and maybe i can retire the huge stack of book i use for flattening prints then... :D

Good call! I added one for you in the description. It is the same material I used.

Would a rack used for traditional screen printing be just as useful, or would the mesh material affect the rc paper?

Have you had any experience with an electric print dryer? I've become the owner of a RotoPrint dryer and haven't found much info on it. Your channel is great!

I’ve used and Arkay brand dryer for RC. Slow air drying is best for fiber prints to minimize curling.

Hi, could I use a hairdryer on low power to help speed up drying for prints or would that damage them?

It wouldn’t damage them, but it would kick up a ton of dust that would stick to the gelatin surface.

Hey, how does this make sure the prints dry flat? I am about to delve into fibre paper soon!

By laying face down, the prints aren’t allowed to curl as much. If you dry them face up they curl significantly. I still have to flatten them under a press for perfectly flat prints, but the curl is minimized.

Don’t the top prints then drop onto the bottom ones? I never understood that.

You should be using a squeegee on the print first to eliminate the bulk of the water. They shouldn’t be dripping wet when placed on the screens.
