Question: What type of paper did you find worked best for stencils? Would
you have the same problems with water base ink if you weren't printing on
t-shirts but instead on paper? What is best for cleaning the screen if using
water base paint and also for cleaning oil base paint? Unfortunately I only
ordered water base paint for next year. Is there any other kind of oil base
paint besides blockprinting paint that I can use? Could Susan or anyone else
share your knowledge? Thanks, Eileen
