Hi everyone,
My boyfriend is using a Riso system similar to these... http://www.nehoc.com.au/printgocco/systems/ for screen printing and he is trying to print white on black.
Water based paints are not showing up thick enough. He has done a few coats but it is not really giving any great improvements. He is not a professional by any means. This is meant to be a hobby for him and it is something he has wanted to do for years.
What type of paint should he be using to overcome this problem? Is there a way to do it without having to go out and buy a lot of expensive equipment?
Also if you believe this system is not very good, what would you suggest as being better, without us having to go out and spend thousands?
He is interested in printing tshirts - particularly white on black.
We have been searching the net high and low trying to find information, but it all seems so confusing and everyone seems to use a different system - it is hard to know what would suit his needs without going overboard, but at the same time without producing crappy results.
Thanks a lot in advance! I really appreciate any input we could get on this!!
