hi, have a question about printing on canvas , maybe you guys can help me.
I have a few years experience in screen printing but I never printed on textile, fabric, canvas just on paper or rigid materials.
so...I have some designs and I would like to print the on painter canvas, I would appreciate if you could help me
here are my questions:
1. what mesh do you recommend ? can I use the same theory as for paper print with regards to the design details and mesh ?
2. should I print the design on the canvas first and then stretch it to a frame or the other way ?
3. is it hard to get tight registration with basic hand bench (without carousel) ?
4. what technique to use for registration ?
any other thing to be aware ? thanks
