Question

How do screen printers store the images that have been used if they don't save the screen?

Answer 1

You mean capturing an image of your screen so you can save it or print?  That's basically done by reading the video buffer at that moment and then posting that frame to the clipboard.  Maybe I haven't understood your question though.

Answer 2

the image is actually inkjet on velum..a clear piece of plactic..and kept in a manial folder..whenever you reorder then they re-burn the screen.and when your job is done the screen is washed out and recoated..so if you pay a screen charge and and are looking to pick up your "screen" then you will either be given a disk with your artwork or the folder with the velum
