Screen printed positive / negative Vinyl
I've output my design from a scanned image onto Folex and have screen printed it today. I am very pleased with the results. This was done on Somerset Satin 300gsm. The finish of it was good quality and the blacks appear crisp.
I am happy with the end result and what the finish adds to the quality of line. It is different to the aesthetic qualities to relief printing.
Since this is my first time, I need to think about the size of paper to print on next time. My screen prints were smaller than 12" because I didn't know you could print onto multiple sheets of folex and then print them alongside next each other,
Also, the empty space around the print is as important as the space the print takes up. If it was in the middle of A2 paper, the vinyl will sit in a space that looks more compositionally balanced.
