{{DISPLAYTITLE:Screenprinting }}

==General Information==
The Printmaking Studio is located in the middle of the building, east of the main classroom in a 250 sq/ft room. Equipment includes a washout booth, 4 head press, single print stations for paper and t-shirts, flash dryer, exposure table, and drying racks. The studio is available as a shared space and utilized by members to learn and experiment with printmaking processes that currently include screen printing and relief printing. Studio guidelines, safety and best practices should be followed to create a positive atmosphere for all members.

[[User:Mark Lujan|Marc Lujan]] is the Area Lead over Printmaking. [[User:Devin Halsey|Devin Halsey]] is the Assistant Lead.

==Access Policy==

*Clean up completely after every print session and leave the studio as you found it.
*Treat all members using the studio with respect and help create a positive and creative atmosphere
*Keep personal screens, ink and paper involved in a project to a minimum when using the studio - use the temporary shelving provided
*Do not store personal materials for an extended period within the studio when not involved with a printing project.
*Check with Area Lead before bringing in any printing equipment or donated materials
*We use water-based acrylic inks for screen printing - users should not bring outside cleaning chemicals or solvents into the studio
*Shared materials are available on the white bookshelf or other marked areas.
*Expendable studio materials (ink, paper, emulsion) should be used within reason. If you have a large project, you should purchase your own materials.
*Do not mix ink that is provided, please use colors straight from container and return the remainder to the jar, unmixed with other colors.
*Paper and basic ink is provided in the studio, t-shirts need to be purchased for use.
*Studio screens will be available with stencils already on them to print and will be marked for use
*Some studio screens will be available for individual use
*If studio equipment is damaged though negligence, it is recommended that members take responsibility and replace those items
*Write your name on tape and affix to studio screens when you are using them for a project, when finished, please reclaim for future use.

==Pressure Washer==
When using the pressure washer, use eye and ear protection. Do not place your hand in front of the wand at any time and keep the water spray directed into the washout booth.
Follow these steps for turning on and off the water supply:

#Turn water on using the valve located on the front of the washout booth
#Turn the pressure washer on using the dial on it’s front
#When finished, reverse the procedure - turn off the pressure washer, turn off water at the valve
#Release pressure from the water line by triggering the wand

Donation and Hackables Policy

2021-01-08T22:21:46Z

Anna DiSalvo:

Because of MakeICT's growth, we are running out of space. In an effort to cut down on things that prevent working in the space, as well as a few cases where things which may cost to be disposed of have been left at MakeICT, we are instituting the following policies at MakeICT:

=Donation Policy=
We encourage the donation of equipment and other material to the space in order to full fill the needs of our membership, however, we do want to limit the need to dispose of items that are not needed at the space. If you would like to donate something to the Makerspace, please contactl the appropriate Area Lead or the Inventory Committee with information on donations. The Lead and/or Inventory Committee will determine if the item can be utilized at the space or not. Items we don't have any use for can also be donated to be sold by MakeICT and the proceeds will contribute to the betterment of the space. In the event that a donation has conditions, it must be approved beforehand, please contact the Inventory Committee to discuss the conditions. The donation will be tracked by utilizing the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aEdPt4zACSzYstOkhU-JxP7tWimgZC2X/view?usp=sharing Equipment Donation Receipt] which a copy will be given to the donor to utilize for tax purposes if they desire.

 
==Prohibited Items==
MakeICT will not accept donations of:

*Anything containing hazardous material
*CRTs,
*Excessively large items which impede the work flow of the Makerspace

Restrictions may be added to this as needed.

If there is a question, you can ask about it on the forum (http://makeict.org/forum) or sending an email to inventory@makeict.org .

 
=Hackables policy=
Items donated to the space may be designated as hackables, in which case, they are intended to be hacked, taken apart for parts to use in projects, or otherwise used by members. The one restriction is that hackables shall not be taken simply to be resold. Any Area may have a hackables deposit, which will be clearly designated. Hackables should not be deposited any where else in the facility. Each Area will have more information on their individual hackable policy/drop off location, so please check their wiki page or contact the appropriate Area Lead if you have questions. If you wish to receive a letter for tax purposes about a donation designate as hackables, the donation must follow the donation policy.

Approved by the board on [[December 17 2020]].
