Not screen printing the image, I did feel like the image wasn't complete but once it was printed out on the
digital printers on texture paper it did have similarites to screen printing. The stock defeinetly makes a difference. Texture works a lot better then flat matt paper.
On the matt paper the colours seemed darker but on the texture paper thhey are dulled down slightly which I like. The
image itself fits with the section of the text I chose to work with. It is slightly different to the other images that I have created in other projects and the composion is different. However I only realise when it was printed that the textures where no even thoughout so this need to be somthing in the future that I will need to pay close attention too. I deceid when printing to go to A2 and it worked well. Especially on the textured paper it looks like a screen print.
Pros to digtially print are that everything is clear and visble , makeing the image is simpler , and you are able to experiment with opacity and tone a lot more. A negitive aspect is cost. At the moment it is much cheaper to screen print that digtially print. Your do get more prints by screenprinting and the texture across the image will be consitant but the colours may not be as acutate. It is hard to try and convay print though a digtial medium , as with print you do get slight missprint and little odd spots and this can add to the quality. But digitally you are garenteed accuracy and a consitant series of prints.
And in the long run digitally printing may become a lot cheaper than finding a print studio.
