Why Screen fees? Screen fees are necessary for several reasons. The first reason is the fact that there are expenses in preparing screens. The screens, emulsion, ink, film, tape, and chemicals used for cleaning all add up. Secondly, exposing screens properly is vital to achieving quality prints. Exposing screens is time consuming and very similar to developing film. The screens are prepared in a darkroom and must not see light or the screens may be compromised. Finally, each color in the design requires a separate screen that needs to line up perfectly with all of the other colors in the design to achieve superior prints. This process is also very tedious, but necessary in the screen printing process.
