Screenprinting Consultation with Gerard 10.10.2025
Two contrasting or strong colours can create a more visible overprint/overlapping effect — for example, red and green, red and blue, or yellow and blue.
Almost all screenprinting inks can be printed on black or silver paper. Different halftones can create different textures — for instance, halftone pink ink printed on silver paper becomes a metallic pink.
It is possible to mix inks manually. For example, combining a standard colour with a metallic ink will produce a metallic tone.

Any printed area can be overlaid with halftone black or white to create lighter or darker tones.
The basic white and black papers provided by the school are stored inside the metal cabinet.

For other paper types, students can check the sample books.

If necessary, Gerard can help order additional paper.
The idea of “imperfection” doesn’t have to appear only in the print itself. Could it also exist in the digital process — on computer screen, or during file preparation? This could be an interesting area to explore.
