How to Apply Manga Screens

Manga screen on top of the illustration

1. Make Large Cuts

With the backing on the Manga Screen, place it on top of the illustration and cut slightly larger .

2. Cut Along the Lines

Remove the Manga Screen from its backing and lightly place it on top of the illustration.

Cut and remove the excess areas by cutting along the lines of your drawing. For detailed sections such as the tips of the hair, lay the knife on its side and move it as if you’re shaving off the dots printed on the film. When shaving, avoid shaving in 45 or 90 degrees since this may shave off the entire row of dotted lines.

Applying the screen onto drawing by rubbing.

3. Rub and Apply Pressure

Cover the applied Manga screen with a piece of paper (backing sheet, white paper, etc.) and rub it with a Manga screen spatula to apply pressure. If it does not adhere to the comic paper, it may come off later. For areas where the edges of the Manga screen look like they may come off, apply mending tape (transparent tape) on top to secure them.
