Screen Printing Ghost or Watermark Images

Post by MikeyDesigns »

Hello,

Here's how I go about screen printing ghost images. I reduce my white ink, or whatever the color maybe be, 75% reducer to 25% ink. :)

Another very cool post, thank you Matt. I have done this as well using soft hand base or even reducer when I had nothing else. No ink added... LOL. Soft hand base makes a great tone on tone look and prints very well.

Doing some great work. Thank you again very much for the cool images and the topic. I’ll put this on the list for a video ;)

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try some soft hand base next time. Awesome! Look forward to eventually seeing a video. :D
