At this point having got my positives ready to go, I finally exposed my final screen. In order to make sure the colours were accurate to what the digital colours were, I used a specific range of acrylic shades from the Library - this also meant the acrylic was fresh, and had less chance of being too thick or too runny with it being brand new.
There were a range of mistakes that happened whilst I was printing - A lot of them had to be thrown, however, I found that by reducing the size of the screen and the print it made printing considerably easier to do. I definately began to end up with some more passable prints as opposed to consistent bad ones - which I think was a lot to do with this change in critera.
I managed to get the whole set printed in a day, which was definately gruelling - but I think the extended period of time dedication definately helped to secure a good outcome. The print room was also a lot quieter, so there was less stopping and starting which allowed me to go nonstop until I got some results that I was happy with.
Once the printing was done, I selected the best of the outcomes and cropped them down to A5. This is the end result:
Overall, I was quite pleased with them as a set. The black layer didn't come out 100% how I wanted it to on a couple of them - but due to their size and the cropping, its something thats barely noticeable. It felt very nice to have them as a finish set after struggling to achieve a good print for so long!
