Screen printing is a stencil printing method. The printer pushes ink through open areas in a fabric mesh. Ink is either present or not on the paper so the appearance of nuanced gradations is difficult to achieve. This in itself adds both challenge and opportunity. The work around is based on graphic shapes as multiple dots or lines or as a "split fountain" method of blending colors as they are forced through the mesh opening.

The printing method is messy and challenging because so much can move around since fabric mesh stretches. Registration of colors is very difficult. It is best to design a print with these challenges in mind in order to make print production as forgiving as possible.

Gray Jay Graphics is a name I use to help you find me in the crowd but I really do business as John Miller. My personal name is pretty commonplace so I can be hard to find without another way to identify me. I work in many different styles and with many different mediums creating fine art as well as graphic designs explaining ideas. All content © John Miller unless otherwise noted.
