Timeline poster
I knew there was another process you had to do before screen printing to your images. I just couldn't remember what it was. All of the youtube tutorials were talking about how to print images. So when I went into university I spoke to Mike and he explained what to do. The whole morning was a rush. Below are the settings I applied
The effect you have to apply is halftone. The frequency depends how many dota you see: 65 is quite high. 75 is the maximum you must go, this gives you fewer dots but looses tone. Mike suggested 65 as this will have more visible dots, but shows more tone. The outcome is different on each image, because all of mine are from the internet they are as varied as they ever would be.
Mike also showed me to save as a post script file which is great for screen print negatives as it divides all the colour onto different print outs. This took ages to work as well. My print slot was 11am. I had to leave this over lunch for James to print.
Leeds Market
I didn't have time to print onto different stocks or do a test color print, but I like the outcome anyways, going to print more tomorrow.
