The screen printing process

Screen printing my Bastille design onto a t shirt is an effective way to create promotional campaign material, famously cheap in cost to produce and relatively quick, screen printed and handmade protest material.




   

  


This Bastille Dan image would feature the HeForShe logo both being printed with the same magenta tone of screen printing paint. The photograph's halftone was at 65 dpi and a 22.5 degree due to the amount of black paint needed to travel through the screen to correctly paint the photograph.
Previously screen printing hadn't worked as expected for me, but these run's came out better expected, with a preconceived prejudice for screen printing, these t shirts came out perfectly.
My only problem with the prints were the tone of the magenta colour, appearing paler than expected once the paint had dried, something which could not be corrected once printed.
