I came up with the idea of screenprinting on a rectangular underbase even before seeing it had been
discussed on the forums. It seemed, from a purely hypothetical standpoint, a real possibility considering the opaqueness of screenprinting ink. Additionally, I had a few photo based graphics for this collection which were contained within a rectangle—because of the lack of emulsion-based resources (power-washer, transparency printer, exposure unit, etc.), I figured you would only be able to theoretically print graphics contained within a rectangle. Also, because of possible registration issues, you would need to consider leaving some margin for trapping purposes. The main concern presented by others online was the combination of plastisol and T-Jet inks and if the two would interact well. After consulting the team (my dad) and watching a fairly convincing youtube video, I decided it would be worth a shot and bought a 20x24"
Blick screen, a medium sized container of white
Speedball® Fabric Ink, and a 8" wooden handled
Blick Squeegee. I then screenprinted a white rectangle on a scrap, navy blue hoodie.
