Print Technical Folder

For each specialism we have to create a technical folder, showing how to do the the various techniques and then examples of them. For this project, we had 2 and a half weeks to be taught various printing techniques and also how to prepare a screen. 
Here are some photos of my print folder which was based on the earlier camera project I did.

Heat press technique:

Trying out the different dysperse dye colours under the heat press

Making shades of colours

Overlapping colours

Using water to draw with first and then dropping dye onto it

Heat pressing images I drew with the dye onto material I dyed

Painting onto a screen:

Painting onto a screen with dysperse dye

Discharge Printing:

Screen printing with puff binder:

Printing puff onto my own dyed material

Printing puff onto a sample of carpet I found gave it an interesting feel to it. I also used pigment with one of the cameras

Overlapping the puff binder and using pigment with them 

Screen printing with foil:

I used 'gun metal' coloured foil 

I used silver foil on top of some dip dyed material I did

Printing bronze coloured foil on top of a swatch of suede like material I had

Screen printing repeat patterns:

Navy on purple

Experimenting with screen printing:

Using coloured puff binder and normal coloured binder i printed these cameras in neon colurs on top of some black material I had

On thicker material this time I printed the same camera overlapping itself. The first and last camera, I used puff however they didn't seem to puff up as much as normal

Experimenting with bright colours with the normal and puff binder
