I really want to try silkscreening, but the initial investment seems high. And I'm cheap.
So it's only stencils for me. Brownie points to whoever guesses who this is:

Wooden frame, piece of silk, carboard masks, printing ink, some sort of scraper. You could easily get silk-screening for under £20.

A good grade screen cost me $32 (US), acrylic ink/paint isn't that expensive, find an inexpensive squeegee, and get some plastic scrapers from a car body shop for $2 (US) and you're set. For cleaning, you just wash the screen off with a hose. I don't remember how much things like red block out or photo emulsion cost, but you can always use contact paper or frisket paper. If you're really interested in it, it isn't that bad of an investment compared to other things.
