Description

Matisse Print Paste will stop your colours from drying too quickly on paper when screen printing. Adding the Paste gives your print a more transparent look so it can be used for different effects. Try mixing it with Matisse acrylic colours (Flow or Structure formula) in equal parts, and adjusting the ratio for desired transparency and drying time. It’s perfect for anyone who is screen printing on paper. The more you use the more transparent your prints will be.

Step-by-step guide for Matisse Print Paste:

• Mix: Thoroughly combine equal parts of MM22 Print Paste and Matisse Acrylic Colour (Flow or Structure).
• Adjust consistency: Alter the ratio to get the perfect viscosity, colour intensity, and drying time.
• Apply to screen: Place the mixture in your screen.
• Flood the screen: Fully flood the screen with paint/paste mixture for a better print.
• Pull the print: Use a squeegee to pull the mixture across the screen onto your paper.
• Clean up: Wash screens and tools with water immediately after use.

Tips & Tricks:

• For transparency: Add more print paste to make the colour more transparent and light.
• For intensity & speed: Use more acrylic paint for more intense colour and quicker drying.
• For very long drying: Add up to 5% MM1 Drying Retarder if needed.
• For gloss: Mix in MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish to improve sheen.
• Best surface: Use it on paper to create a smooth, luscious tone and prevent colours from drying too fast.
