Screen Printing

Screen printing was a long printing process but it was one of the easiest even if it did take a while. Once you have got your screen it becomes pretty simple as you can use it a few times before having to clean it. But once your screen is wet you need to wait for it to dry again which can take 20mins but sometimes longer depending on how wet your screen is. (This is the annoying part as you have to keep waiting to carry on with your work. The only plus side with it is you can dry and mount, or do other work while you wait for your screen to dry)

If you wanted to do a lot of prints in one go this probably isn't the best process to use because you have to keep washing the screen after a certain amount of uses, and if you want to completely change the colour. I did enjoy this process but not as much as some of the others. However, I think I would use this process again.
