Basic Information

Post by Bartjy »

Hi Folks,

Years ago I attended a class teaching silk screening. Since that time, and a few household moves later, I've lost my binder with the class room instructions dealing with this topic. So my question, can anyone suggest a good basic book that covers the complete fundamentals of silk screen printing?

Much thanks
Bart

What, no one has any suggestions? This is the Internet, how can that be? ;)

I'm sorry I try to take it easy over the weekends.

However I'm not sure that I have anything to recommend to you. I can tell you the most popular screenprinting book was written by a guy named Scott Fresener. Sometimes I include this book in some of my kits but I do not necessarily recommended as the best book out there..... Rather it's seems to be the only book out there. Most of the others you will find were written many years ago and are dated.

Jonathan you're already a visionary, inspiration, entrepreneur, video sensation, and I can safely guess International Man of Mystery. Will we be adding author perhaps?

LOL... thank you so much for the kind words here.

Yes, I think so. If I can get a plan together and get some help with an outline and images, then eventually I will produce a more complete, updated version that takes things a little more seriously than what's out there currently. But I have no idea when this will happen. I may have to do it after I burn out on making videos.... LOL ;)
