Screen Printing Gems: Accidental Findings

  • Registering vs Overlapping

    When screen printing, I like to test layers on newsprint first. Printing big and often, I reused sheets in effort to reduce waste and let colors overlap by accident. These happy “mistakes” revealed new tones, showing me how colors mix—and gave me ideas for using overlaps to reveal hidden symbols in future prints.

  • Mono Screen Printing

    After spending months in the print studio, I got tips from the amazing technicians and tried mono screen printing—a way to paint multiple colors directly onto the screen and print them in one go. Totally different from my usual solid-color symbols, it opened up new possibilities. I can’t wait to experiment more with this technique in future prints!
