- I am really happy with the results of my first final screenprint. I think the different textures have translated really well from my digital positives onto screen and the colours have come out really beautifully.
- For the first print I decided to experiment with lots of different tones of white stock. Originally I thought that the prints would look best on the more muted white tone of the somerset paper, however in reflection I think the stark white of the snowdon cartridge looks best - and will be the one I will probably therefore use across all five of my finals.
PROBLEMS
- With this print I had real problems with the registration of my two layers, which I think was caused by clicking 'scale to fit media' when I printed off my positives - so by the time I was putting ink to paper this became unavoidable.
- So probably, if I have time between now and the end of term, I will reprint this to achieve a better and cleaner final image.
- Another problem I found, which is one to keep in mind when printing my other four finals, is that the colour of the paint looks slightly different in the pot than when printed.
- I am happy with the final colours of this print, however the pink is slightly lighter than I expected it to be - to avoid this test the ink on paper before printing.
