Standardization of Photographic Silkscreen Printing Process

Abstract

The study aims to standardize the Photographic Silkscreen Printing Process. The experimental research design was employed. Laboratory experiment was conducted and the data was carefully tallied and interpreted while choosing the best output to be rated by the respondents using hedonic scale through a survey questionnaire, treated and interpreted using parametric test to validate the results in laboratory experiment. The data shows that is higher acceptability rate when it comes to print quality of the proposed improved process and significant difference of printing quality when using variety of light exposure hence, from the existing process the researcher come up with improved and standardized photographic pattern development in sensitized emulsion that is mainly used in silkscreen printing as medium for transferring the image or pattern into a fabric. Ultraviolet light exposure unit box when it comes to pattern development in sensitized emulsion has more clarity and sharpness of the edges. Followed by warm light exposure and lastly by the daylight exposure box unit. That sensitized emulsion reacts or sets with a specific time frame, one procedure may not be suited using another steps or procedure using another type of emulsion, so this study specified the different factors to claim it as standard. For the recommendation, the improved and standardized process of photographic silkscreen printing must be patented.
