My apologies for not posting the last couple of days but I have been very busy in the screen prinitng studio with stretching screens, degreasing screens to prep them for emulsion, and then printing another test design.
I use the stretch cord method to stretch all of my screens. This way my studio is completely self sufficient when it comes to re-stretching the mesh when the time comes. It's also a lot cheaper than buying the pre-stretched frames. It's a real killer on the hands though. I did 15 of them over 2 days.
After stretching the screens I degrease them to get them ready for the emulsion. I'm going to do that maybe tonight or tomorrow. I need to make more room to store all of them.
Last night I stayed up till around 2:00 a.m. doing a test run print on another design. Again, I was very pleased with the outcome. I'm getting closer and closer to buying the over size transparencies so I can break out of this 8.5"x11" box that I have been working in.
