Screen Printing... The Basics

by Andy MacDougall

Now you can purchase an easy to understand instruction manual that breaks the screenprinting process down into steps. Loaded with tips and tricks along with lots of how-to-do-it pictures, you’ll learn about art prep and film separations, screens and stencils, inks and materials, printing, specialized applications, shop safety, and more. Many available screenprinting books are out of date, or are so technical, they are impossible to understand. This one is right in the middle - humourous, informative, and up-to-date, written by a person who has been involved in all aspects of commercial and fine art screenprinting for over 25 years.
