Screenprinting Consultation with Gerard 24.04.2026
This studio consultation with Gerard focused on practical questions around Letraset screenprinting, as well as planning the next production steps and preparations. References from https://uniteditions.com/blogs/news/ten-designers-pick-their-favourite-letraset-typeface
A minimum font size and stroke thickness are suggested. For text, it is generally recommended not to go below 12 pt. It is technically possible to print around 4 pt, but this becomes very difficult and unreliable. However, slight imperfections at this scale can still produce interesting results for my project. For line graphics, strokes should not be thinner than 1 pt to ensure they transfer clearly during printing.
Paper is currently back in stock. A larger format (500 × 700 mm) is available, and half of this size is approximately B3 (500 × 353 mm). The exact pricing still needs to be confirmed by Gerard.
I have checked. There is enough space to include additional elements such as a project title, description, or technical specifications. So I can definitely make my own header and footer.
Whatever I want!
Gerard mentioned that Emelie, an applied context student from last year (we did take some coaching session together back then when I was a premaster student), will return to the workshop to print her own Letraset sheets. Since this process can be technically challenging, it may be helpful to work together. I have already contacted her via Instagram, and she said feel free to join!
