Our Thermofax Play Day was so successful
and so much fun...
it was difficult to stop printing and end the day.
Most of our screens were created from our photographs.
You can have your screens made HERE
We made plans to play with

ReplyDeleteLuAnn, what wonderful results - wish I'd been there ;~)
ReplyDeleteThese turned out fantastic. I have never heard of this product or these screens. Looks like I need to venture out to the store!
ReplyDeleteI have added a link to the bottom of this Thermofax blog post with a link to Lynn, the gal who created most of our thermofax screens.
ReplyDeleteThe thermofax is a thermal imaging machine at a cost of $1,000....we decided to have Lynn make our screens for $9 each.
Lynn also has a line of her own screens you can purchase if you don't want to make them from your own custom images.
The Versatex Screen Printing Inks are the very best, with lots of open time for you to work without worry of them drying and clogging up the screens like paint will do.
You only live once, give it a try!
