NJ Screen Printers

[MenacingTourist]

I should have paid better attention in college when we went over screen printing. Now I find myself wanting to do art prints and the occasional gig poster as time allows. I'm thinking art prints mainly because I get busy with regular work and the side projects sometimes have to wait weeks before I can get back to them.

The bottom line is I would love to trade helping out with a printing session for the chance to ask a lot of questions. I don't mind reading about it all but I learn a lot better from doing than reading.

I live near Princeton, NJ so if anyone lives around here and pulls thier own I would love to do the crappy parts that you hate.

Thanks.

I am in Northern NJ. My setup is all disassembled currently because I am moving soon (staying in the general area). When everything is back up and running in the later spring you're welcome to come by and monkey around. Hope you like loud music.

Thanks guys.
Twelvevolt: Music? The louder the better.
MiguelMento: I work in Avenel. What do you do in Princeton?

To get an idea of where I'm coming from you can see recent work on my blog: http://menacingtourist.blogspot.com/ there's even a little Von Dutch homage. I've done a few posters (digital output) for a bookstore that had people come in and play and have always wanted to do actual screen prints.
The posters are on my woefully out of date portfolio site: www.menacingtourist.com

In the meantime I'm still going through old posts...avoiding dumb questions.
