Screen Printing

The screen printing process took overall a few days to complete. The cleaning process took quite a while with the coating and exposing process being relatively quick. 

The printing process took longer than expected, I had shared a screen to make the process easier for the both of us, which helped, although in the future knowing the process better it would probably take me less time doing it on my own.

I tested various prints until the image started to come out right. I tried to initially print on white paper stock, using a base block yellow and then black for the imagery. This didn't turn out as well as hoped the the block yellow didn't cover well and was consistently patchy over numerous prints. 

I switched to printing black on a yellow paperstock and the result was much better, the texture of the paperstock was much better and much closer to what I wanted.
