Bob,
I think Jacik is asking about using the screen to apply the gum
emusion to the paper. It is true that the same emulsion can make a
photo screen by squeegying it into the fabric.
I tried using a screen to print the emulsion on the paper back in the
the 60s and got too much on the paper so it flaked off when developed.
That proves nothing about whether it could be perfected. I await
others who may have tried this to give real answers.
