Each printing job is different :: it is changed by the climate, the screen, the squeegee and the ink. In this particular case, the combination of the design (lots of block colour as well as fine details) and the consistency of the ink make it a little tricky. This one needs two very swift passes at just the right pressure to get it right.
It also takes time to change the bags over between printing, so the screen must be flooded every time to avoid drying out or clogging, and misprints. I hate misprints (even though they are inevitable some days)!
This job has also been interesting as I had to make the ink match a particular Pantone colour ~ 246 to be exact. I tend to mix by eye normally, but this colour (a purpley pink) was tricky and the pantone formula didn't quite do it, so we ended up with a 246 "tweek" which is so pretty and works really well with the design (hard to see in this pic due to the light).
So there you have it ~ a sea of drying bags, ready to be heatset and posted to Renae; and, a peek into my day. If you like these, they are available to buy here!
