After doing the print elective i didn't think i had much more to learn about screen-printing, that was until i attended this workshop. Below are 4 different styles of screenprinting that we were able to sample in our workshop.
Halftone
Halftone is the repographic technique that simulates continuous tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size or in spacing.
Spot Colour
In offset printing, a spot color is any color generated by an ink (pure or mixed) that is printed using a single run. Creating blocks of colour with as many colours as you like, also the chance of overlapping colour to create new ones. You can also create a colour blend so more than one colour can be printed on one screen.
CMYK image
CMYK halftone
I always wondered how photo like images could be produced through screen printing and it was not as hard as i imagined at all. Thanks to Photoshop we are able to split any photo into Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (black) images using the 'Channel' tool producing the 4 screens for our image! Using halftones (dots) it prints out in the same way a digital printer would create an image.
I have already used spotcolour within my print elective and i think it works reall well for illustrative prints, i would love to try halftones, especially CMYK halftones as i think it creates a rich llooking print. I would like to experiment with the size and spacing between the halftones and what effect this would create.
