Screen Printing

I found this youtube video to help in the future to help with the screen printing, process.

SCREEN PRINTING PROCESS
- 1, Create image, vectorise image to black, and print image

- 2 Scan image and print on to asitate
- 3 Clear screen, next step is to expose the screen
- 4 tape outside around the screen, to make sure no ink leaks
- 5 place material, your using under the screen
- 6 place ink on the top of your screen, wipe downwards and pull up
repeat this twice or 3 times


My first print

My first was on some leather sort cloth, which i really liked, I found this was my best outcome,
we had quite a dodgey screen, had many holes, which was quite fustrating.

2nd print

Was not happy with the 2nd print, only because of the splatters from the screen, we only had the screen for the night, because someone had our screen, so had to wait till late to get a screen, but next time if theres holes, I should cover with tape., do like the black on red though.

3rd print

This is when a print fails, DO NOT OVER DO THE INK, from this print I realised you should NOT, use to much ink, or you end up with mess.
