scanning screenprints

I have started looking at incorporating scans of recent screenprints into designs for ties and scarves.



 

 

The scanned image of a screen print onto fabric is less clear because the scan picks up the weave of the fabric.  See example on the left.




The scanned image of a screenprint onto paper - especially onto newsprint - has a silky and clear appearance (see right).
 

Today I spent time in the print room working on more open screen designs which were printed onto paper.

 

Too much procion pigment gives a saturated heavy image which dries to a matt dull finish.  Generally the designs were more successful on the 2nd and 3rd print - the first being too heavy and the fourth too light.
