Screen printer need ed in RI/MA area

[PollockPhan]

I have designed A print...I am ordering the paper, and need 50 copies made....I am open to ideas on how to get this done, cheap as possible...it is my first print. I am a lifetime artist, long time tattooist, lurker here and taken many, MANY notes...I will be setting my own screen printing shop, after the new year...appreciate all the knowledge on this site...would love to be able to be present and gain as much firsthand knowledge as possible

Are you looking for someone to print your design for you, or to teach you how to print in general?

i have done a lot of research...would like to see some of the work done as well as have it done, want to do this full time, I love art....jus never had the time, I do have some imperfections in my original, it needs scanned in photoshop, blemishes fixed, then printed.....ordering the paper... Could use a more experienced artists ideas and feedback

I have, print is done, no I am at a dead stop as I do not own a press, not great with photoshop ...ordered French paper, know color scheme, have kept the colors to a minimum....need it done by mid Dec....

FYI: Skat...I LOVE your work....U have a gift, just hoping to get the ideas from my mind to the press instead of on skin, tired of tattooing

You don't need a press if you're doing it on paper, just a table and a pair of hinges. If you don't work well on Photoshop, or for some reason can't print out films (you can't just use regular acetate), use construction paper or Rubylith for large areas of color and draw directly on acetate or duralar with lightfast pens for detail. Where are you working out of? Just at home?

[PollockPhan]

Yup...my house. This is my test run to see if it will works for me, love doing it though...

[PollockPhan]

someone contacted me, I sent him a pic of the print and he never replied....I will figure this out, just not want to use cheesy Staples, Fed Ex etc...want it screen printed

This post got past me. Thanks.

Where you at with this? You put together the artwork? Still need to get it prepared for the press and screen print it?

What's it look like?
