What's the best way to rinse out a screen?Updated a day ago

After exposing your screen and removing the film positive, place the screen in a washout booth or sink in your darkroom.

Using a gentle shower-style spray, thoroughly wet both sides of the screen. Allow the emulsion to soften for 10–30 seconds (longer for thicker coatings), continuing to gently wet the screen if needed.

Next, switch to high-pressure water using a strong fan-spray nozzle or, preferably, a pressure washer. Spray the image only from the print (t-shirt) side of the screen. Avoid using high-pressure water on the squeegee side, as this can force the emulsion off the mesh and damage the stencil.

Continue rinsing from the print side until the image is fully washed out and all of the detail has been revealed.
