ABSTRACT
In textile screen printing, drying mesh screens efficiently without exposure to direct light or external contaminants is challenging. Conventional drying methods can be slow and may result in inconsistent drying times, which impacts workflow and screen quality. Exposure to dust, light, and other environmental factors can also compromise the quality of the mesh, leading to unwanted marks or weakened screen integrity over time. The project aims to design and construct an optimized drying closet specifically for textile screen printing. This closet will include an integrated air vent and fan system to accelerate the drying process while protecting screens from light exposure and environmental contaminants. Thus, enhancing the overall efficiency and quality in screen preparation. This project involves designing a compact, light-resistant closet with appropriate dimensions for standard mesh screens. A ventilation system with a fan will be installed to maintain airflow and reduce drying time. The closet will be constructed using materials that are durable and light-proof, ensuring that screens dry under ideal, controlled conditions. Testing phases will include evaluating drying times with and without the fan, as well as assessing screen quality after drying. The anticipated outcome is a functional drying closet that significantly reduces mesh screen drying time, improves workflow efficiency, and preserves screen quality. By preventing light and environmental exposure, the project expects to see an overall improvement in print consistency and longevity of the mesh screens.
