Abstract

A method for making a printing screen wherein a screen having an unexposed emulsion layer applied thereto is placed in a printing device, such as an ink jet printer, and a graphic is printed directly on the emulsion layer. The graphic is precisely and automatically positioned relative to the screen by orienting the screen with respect to the X, Y and Z printing axes of the printing device, aligning a selected location on the screen with a selected coordinate position on the X and Y printing axes and providing the printing device with data defining the graphic to be printed on the emulsion layer, data defining the dimensions of the screen, and data defining selected coordinates within the dimensions of the screen with which corresponding reference coordinates of the graphic are to register when the graphic is printed on the emulsion layer. <IMAGE>
