I now have an answer for "what's the strangest thing you've printed?"

Post by Dip.Schlitz »

Shoes ! I have printed on socks before, but never shoes. I guess they're not really shoes, more like canvas dance slippers, but you get the idea. These were for an art exhibition, it was a poem gold-foiled across the front of 17 pairs of shoes!
This one was all about the preparation. I made a template with a bump to go inside each shoe, thus ensuring the same print location throughout the run. I then used said template to determine how the letters would lay across the shoes, making my marks on the screen, remember things are read left to right, I used markers on the screen and corresponding markings on the pallet for easy registration. Sliding the screen over for each word or partial word. This was a labor intensive job but I think it turned out pretty cool.

Ok i'm stumped. How do I go about posting pictures on here?

Look directly under the text box for the "Attachments" tab. Click that and then click the "Add Files" button. Then you will put the cursor where you want the image and click "Place Inline."

Let me know if you need further help.
