Great info, two questions: What mesh count do you recommend for this? And, how much off-contact? Does it matter? Thanks.
I’ve had great luck printing cardboard boxes using regular acrylic paint with a small amount of glycerine in it to slow the drying. Cheap way to get any color you want for this relatively “lo fi” print substrate
I've thought about doing this for a while. Whats a ballpark price per box spent? What are the dimension of your two boxes? I'm assuming they fall under a certain size thats suited best for shipping.
What type of paint to use?
What’s the temp you’d put your dryer on if you used one
Can I just use normal artists acrylic?
So like artists acrylic?
Michaels stopped carrying Speedball screenprint stuff. :( I have a local art store that has it, but it's a further drive. For mesh count, a 160 is good. 110 is too sloppy. This screen in the video is yellow mesh so upwards of 230.
