Screen prints photographed

Screen prints onto handmade paper.

I think these actually turned out okay. The type is a little bit scratchy but I think it does add an authenticity value to the print as the paper is obviously handmade/handcrafted.

The print process was quite tricky. The paper is really textured and quite bumpy. SO, even on the vacuum bed, the paper wasn't really flat on the bed. I had to print onto it over 20 times to get the type to actually print onto the paper.

It looks alright on the bold type and but the smaller type underneath and the logo got quite smudged after a while. But i had to keep doing it otherwise the type would barely be visible.

But overall, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

I do wish the paper was a little bit flatter though. You can really tell that they're not flat from the photographs of them on the wall.

Texture

I made paper today!

waiting for them to dry and getting them tomorrow morning and then I'm going to try screen print onto them

also, I was talking to someone and they said that Jame might be able to print onto them on the digital printers.....

but will have to see

I made 3 large papers
and 2 a4 ones

so I'm going to try and print the A4 ones on my normal inkjet printer and see what that looks like

also...If I can print them digitally...I'll be more likely to be able to make it into a calendar

with screen print...making a calendar with small types would just be too tricky...also the ink will probably bleed quite a lot ( according to the print man at Blenheim)

but then again...i dont know how the ink will be like on the digital printer...I'll have to see

range?
