SILK SCREEN BLUES

screen printing blues -

i normally love the process / right from printing the film out, exposing the screen, washing it, drying it, prepping your paper / mixing inks, then aligning your artwork, taping off the screen, turning on the suction, printing a proof out, checking it, then printing /
push squeedgy left to right -
pull screen up slightly - 
flood coat right to left - 
pull screen all the way up - 
check print - 
place in drying rack -
repeat

However this week i have had two posters to print out. which is nowt, but the film machine broke, the inks were wrong ( i mixed them a bit naff like), the silk screen was old and old artwork came through.

in total this all took 3 days.......... 3 DAYS!!!!

so i have the screen printing blues. i will not be printing there for a while. i'll draw letters for a bit.
