small silk screen machines?

[Sulla]

Are there silk screen machines for home use; perhaps available at big (or small) hobby stores? Like to use with small pieces of plastic and the like?

Are they difficult to use?

The Yudu is really simple - a tidy and compact exposure unit and print table.
You don't have to buy YUDU supplies; you can use any photosensitive screens/ films. Provocraft, who makes YUDU, also makes a small size screen about 5 x 8 or you can make them yourself if you're handy.
We use emulsion sheets from ULANO and SAATI print to simplify emulsion application onto the screens.
