Printing

Screen Post Exposure
My screen printing process went successfully without many issues, as this was my first time screen printing I took extra precaution with each step. Overall my screen produced prints that were successful and colour filled the spaces which were desired.
Although, if I were to reprint my poster, and re-prepare my screen I would be more careful with the emulsion, ensuring it is hard enough before I begin printing; as one of the print faculty pointed out. In order to rectify this, issue the screen was placed back into the UV bed, without the negatives, to ensure when printing none of the emulsion was to come away. This is what had begun to happen on the corner of the halftone image, due to the halftone being so small.

I would also take the time to thoroughly wash and dry the screen after the change of print layer each time, as sometime a bit of ink was transferred onto the page where it had come through the screen without being properly wiped away.
