Reviews
"For the price, this is a great screen printing kit for beginners. My kit arrived Sunday, two days ahead of schedule... I am lucky that everything arrived safe and sound; no open jars. Went out shopping for a bug light, t-shirt (washed - no softener), pane of glass and had my art printed at FedEx Office. Taped my artwork to the bottom of the silkscreen and held it flat with the glass pane. Lightly sprayed both sides of the silkscreen with water and waited two minutes. Then sprayed water at full blast to remove emulsion."
"Screened a bunch of items with this using the emulsion and the paint on, both worked great!"
"This was a gift so I can't personally attest to how well it works."
"What a great price!!!!"
"I had some trouble with my photo emulsion and burning in the image on the screen."
"This brand was recommended by art teacher."
"Made a screen printer out of me!"

Reviews
"I bought the whole silk screen kit (with stretched frame, squeegee, ink, etc.)."
"I also didn't know what kind of reflector I was using (they didn't have pictures describing the difference between a pie-pan vs. shop reflector) so I ended up badly overexposing my first screen and it was basically unsalvagable."
"I purchased this at the recommendation of a DYI site."
"Smaller quantity than I thought but I should have read the description a bit better."
"Good kit for starters or those who are not going to screen print all the time."
"I screwed up on another review!"
"I was nervous about doing this the first time as I hadn't tried anything like it before."
"Speedball products never disappoint for our applications."

Reviews
"Meaning, it will spread a THICK coating of emulsion."
"Works best for thinner, waterbased inks."
"Fits well in your hands and pulls very smoothly across screens."
"It works well, but during my most recent project I notice that it seems uneven or warped on one end, leading to uneven pressure on the stroke."
"Does the job and is made well."
"My advice: save yourself some time and money and just go to your local Michael's and pick up the plastic handled, 65 durometer, 9 inch speedball squeegee they have."
"The squeegee was so poorly assembled that it would bind up in their own screen frames."
"I thought that the reviews talking about the blade coming loose were likely just outliers, but mine began to after its very first use."
