I was so excited when it came to printing my designs. I had exposed my screens the day before with a little help from the technicians and managed to expose my screens correctly! I couldn't wait to see how my prints were going to turn out so I got stuck in.
Mistake 1 - Don't put twice as much paint into the binder because it doesn't go through the screen.
So the first time I printed I put way too much paint into the binder so when I printed it was very very patchy and just terrible. But at least I knew where I was going wrong so I could resolve the problem and try again in the afternoon, deep breath don't panic I have time for mistakes.
Mistake 2 - Actually use the kodatrace properly so the prints are lined up accurately.
This time I think I was just rushing way too much which is stupid considering the amount of time that I have to do these prints in. I wasn't lining up the base colour print with the second layer so they were a bit all over the place. So I had wasted a day of printing and money on paper and binder... but at least I can learn from this.. right?
