Thanks a lot!

I completely agree, the embossing gives it tactile sensation that screams quality. Using a printer is like eating a fast food burger, it serves a purpose but doesn't provide much of an expierence. You mentioned the paper picks up scuffs, how are you protecting the posters during shipping?

so true haha. For shipping i will roll it with a piece of newsprint paper so it doesnt rub against itself

If you are using WB inks you can add 1-2% glycerin retarder which stops the drying but won’t lose opacity.

thanks, is the glycerin any different from the usual acrylic/screenprinting retarder people use?

@@ThisDesignedThat So the one I use is Permaset Waterbased retarder but I think the formulation is glycerin liquid (they also use it in still life photography for holding water dew). I think it is different to an acrylic medium which also slows drying but also dilutes the solids and opacity. I had a lot of trouble with WB inks drying in the screen but now the glycerin seems to keep it open forever - you only need 1-2% though.

I kind of like the idea of a poster paper that accumulates the scuffs and what not. How do you create your abstract imagery?

i was playing around with pixellating light refractions and moire patterns. I recently went to a ryoji ikeda exhibition in london so i wanted to make something quickly while it was all still fresh in my head

You are often talking about halftones in screenprint, your approach to this would be very interesting since i got a lot of problems with this, love your work and vids, thank you

Hi, what exact issues are you having with your halftones. There are so many factors at play

@@ThisDesignedThat Thanks for your quick answer. In a few words: How do you design/print out your films? Screenprinting doesn't accept grey tones, even when using 90T nets. Do you convert to b&w, and if so, which program do you use, how do you define the width of your grains?

Love your videos try using magna inks I’m not sponsored by them in any way but I’ve printed posters shirts etc all water base and left the ink in for hours printing hundreds of shirts and no clogging I would spray a little water from a squirt bottle time to time but nothing serious as far as additives and chemicals go. And they have a insane ink line

Do your posters just air dry? I know printing T-shirts we ran them through a curing oven…
