Printing Metallic Stripes

[bpwnz]

spray paint, do 2 light coats giving it a moment to dry in between, keep the can 8"-12" back and it shouldn't curl up.

get 10 pieces of scrap paper, at least 10 " wide

make a screen, 200-230 mesh a little bigger 1/16" - 1/8") than the image (on the bleed sides)

set up register, but make sure your tabs aren't on the printed end - I would do the strip towards me on a screen, so you need a skinny squeegee - you can then register from the top and side of the sheet

put a piece in register tabs.

slip the scrap sheet under, pull, move scrap sheet 1", put in a new piece, print, move, etc - the trick is to move the sheet enough so you aren't printing over the wet ink.

You can do this in no time.

imo the easiest way mentioned is tape. if the foil tape available isn't the right colour, you could spray some tape first. you will get perfect straightness and edges and it will take seconds.

spray paint and stencil works.
apply the paint in very thin coats.
each coat should be a feathering.
it helps to keep the paper weighted down flat during the whole process.
so if your doing 50 18"x24" or whatever that is a lot of working surface area.
