Part V showed you the stencils I made for my comic print. I managed to pick up contact paper (who knew that Contact was actually a brand name?) and remade all the stencils. They still did not want to print very well, but by doing two drops of color without lifting the screen, I managed to make them work. Here's what a test print of the blue, the first drop, looked like on newsprint.
And the newsprint with test prints of all four color drops. The bottom half of the black comic lines came out much thinned and fainter than I expected, which I was not pleased about. But again, with a double drop, they were acceptable.
Quick shots of the (basically) final prints. I'm picking up my graded portfolio from this class tomorrow, so proper scans will be up later in the week.
A second print was due at the same time as the above print, and I wanted the two to be related. I mentioned this in Part V as well. So as I printed the comic print, I slipped in smaller sheets of good paper where I knew ink would be coming through and I hadn't bothered to prevent (knowing I would be making these other prints). Each one has a drop of each color and most have a second drop of red. There was no registration, so they are all a little bit different. I burned the smaller comic transparency onto my screen and printed in on top of the color. Like the above print, I will scan them properly tomorrow and have them posted later this week.
