Mordant Recipe: Block vs Screen Printing

Q: Is the mordant recipe the same for screen printing as it is for block dyeing?

A: When screen printing with dyes I use the exact same mordant recipe that I use for block printing. If you want, you can thicken the print medium a little more to get it to behave better on the screen by adding about 50% more guar gum (the thickener).
