Hadn't planned to be doing screenprinting this morning, but really glad I did! This was one of the base layers I made to lay other colours over the top of.
Align the poster image and tape it to the printing side of the screen. Place double sided tape on there. I lock in the screen and mock print it once so the paper will stick to the table. Now I know where to put the paper. I didn't take a photo, but I put three old x-acto blades on the edges of the paper. Each time I put a piece of paper on the table I'll butt it up against the edges of the blades thus my regristration system.
Screen print on canvas. (Feb. 2012)
Rediscovering the printing process after nearly 40 years has been an interesting process ~ disappointingly modern inks are not as rich in color (earthy colours are very plastic like) and modern water-based inks don’t become part of the surface, they sit on it, which is incredibly frustrating ~ the reason I took up printing in the first place was because of the absorbed flatness of the pigments.
Printing is a process for reproducing text and images, typically with ink on paper using a printing press. It is often carried out as a large-scale industrial process, and is an essential part of publishing and transaction printing.
The development of printing was preceded by the use of cylinder seals in Mesopotamia developed in 3500 B.C., and other related stamp seals. The earliest form of printing was woodblock printing, with existing examples from China dating to before 220 A.D. and Egypt to the fourth century. Later developments in printing include the movable type, first developed by Bi Sheng in China, and the printing press, a more efficient printing process for western languages with their more limited alphabets, developed by Johannes Gutenberg in the fifteenth century.
