Screenprinting for Entreprenuers
T-Birds etc…
O.k. We successfully coated and shot our new screens, starting with the step exposure. Successful step exposure print with notes added Exposing Thunderbird 1 screen. We decided to put both colours separations on one screen. Close up of 2 colour print. Because the printer would not make the transparency dark enough, I reworked the film…
Art Print and the begining of My Two Colour Design
I exposed a screen with two different one colour art prints. I tried the new exposure settings where the light is 16 inches away and on for 9 minutes. It appears to be underexposed or maybe the emulsion was not applied or dried properly. All the fine detail in the screen did not show up…

Week 5
So I finally got to do some prints from the last couple weeks of trying. I was doing awesome after setting up until the plastic clamp I was using to prop ny screen up decided to break off and fling my rope and everything. I was able to keep the shirt free of ink splatter…

Module 4
I’ve done the test design with some different emulsion I was trying to find out more info about! I found that the clearest results I got were from exposing 14 inches away and only 2-4 minutes of exposure! I’m not sure if this effected the times but at the time I was only costing 1…
Week 3 reflection
I think I got 2 and 3 mixed and mashed so I ended up doing a hand drawn design and a collage sort of design in the same print! But I finished the actual stencil and printing last module! as for reclaiming, I’ve made a home reclaiming set up out of my bathroom, and I…
Detail Reflection
I must not have gotten all the ink out of the screen. There is a shadow from the previous image. I didn’t use the markers i just put the paper over in thirds and did 12,11 and 10 minutes. I definitely will use the markers as intended if and when i do it again. It’s…
