The Buckfever Underground Poster
Filed under: Prints, Process, Righard Kapp | Tags: | September 10th, 2010
Silkscreening CMYK by hand is basically a very elaborate way of asking for trouble: registration needs to be spot-on, and any variety in the pressure you apply will result in differences in the colour balance. Nevertheless, i thought i’d give it a bash on my own vacuum press (the one’s i’ve done before were all on the Michaelis Art School’s very nice press) for this new Buckfever Underground poster.
Care for a peek into the process? Thought you would.
Edition is 54, 4 colours on 250 gsm Munken Pure (consider it official, my ageing back can’t handle big editions anymore).
