Setting-up: Apartment style
Posted: Sun Dec 02, 2012 2:57 pm
Since it was mentioned in the "What's your setup" thread that I'm doing all I can to work the with space and resources I have, I figured I'd share a couple of quick shots. I just finished getting the tilt and off-contact set for my first job with my 1/1 press. Since my platen is only 16x16 and the screen I used was a 20x24, I had to get creative with some off-contact tabs. So I decided to cut-down some strips of cardboard from a box I got the other day (containing some 16x20 aluminum screens I'm excited to try out), and decided to tape them along the sides. I'm going to wait until sometime this week during the day to do the actual prints, and I'll start with a test shirt I have that's the same color and material, but I'm hopeful all will go well. For now, "enjoy" the pics and have a good chuckle at my ghetto garage-boy setup
