HOW THE
MAGIC
HAPPENS.

ONE COLOUR / ONE SCREEN / ONE PRINT

STEP 01 / 07

CREATING THE FILM

We get the artwork ready and separate each colour. Every layer of the design becomes its own film.

STEP 02 / 07

EXPOSE

Each colour gets its own screen. The design is exposed onto light-sensitive emulsion and washed out.

STEP 03 / 07

MIX THE INK

Ink is mixed to get the colour right. Just eyes and experience — old school methods.

STEP 04 / 07

PRINT

Each colour is printed individually through the screen with a squeegee. One colour, one screen, one print.

STEP 05 / 07

DRY

Then we let the ink do its thing. Every print rests on the rack before the next layer goes down.

STEP 06 / 07

REPEAT

Another screen. Another colour. Another print. Registration is checked by eye, every single time.

STEP 07 / 07

DONE

A finished print. Signed, stacked, and sent out into the world.

THAT’S THE WAY WE LIKE IT

NO SHORTCUTS.
JUST GOOD INK.
