I've been getting some inquires as to my screen printing set-up. It's a cobbled together simple set-up. The whole thing is mounted to a chunk of 1/2" scrap ply wood (for portability) and made to use 20"x24" screens. The "platform" was made to take t-shirts as well as small posters. The "platform" is mounted to the base on 2x4's and is 1/2" thick cabinet grade piece of wood. There is a shoe lace clamped to the side that goes through a eye hook and a 20 oz. Plumb hammer through a loop on the other end as a counter weight. I haven't done anything with registration; so I'm not sure how effective it is at multi-color projects.

Christmas Cards
Here is a Christmas card that I screen printed last year. After going through the process, I have a new respect for the artists that pull their own posters.
These cards are two colors (black over red), printed on French Speckletone Paper Madero Beach. Fonts used are Jessica Hische's Buttermilk and Cheltenham.
I had more waste than I anticipated but ended up with 29 good ones.
