{Geesh, is that my theme today? I forgot...lol!} The screen is simply washed out after the desired number of prints are created. You can make as many prints as you'd like, up into the hundreds, by applying more ink when needed. My instructional book mentioned using cold and hot water and I couldn't remember which, so I simply used a luke-water about room temperature and it worked fine. Just set the screen aside to dry and it is ready to go the next time you are --- just hold it up to the light and look for any areas that may need to be filled with the screen filler once again. My screen appears to be in good shape. Rinse your squeegee after returning any leftover ink back to the jars and seal them.
If I do decide to create several prints from one or more screens at a time, I'm going to have to create me some sort of "clothesline" to hang the prints up to dry. I've seen clothespin and bulldog clips used to hang them. HTH's anyone who may be interested..........

Wow! I didn't know anything about screen printing, so it is fascinating to read this!
