Digital Screenprinting Hybrid

[f90]

Does anyone know of any photographers that use a screenprinting method to print their fine art colour work? It would be easy enough to do at home with the help of a few digital products. I haven't put much thought into it but it seems like with a bit tinkering you could be printing in a similar fashion to dye transfer - and with good inks I assume you could get similar results?

I used to make my living screenprinting. I don't think you could come close to the detail of die transfer.

I don't think you could come close to the detail of die transfer.

What causes the low detail? is it constrained by the thread count of the screen itself?

[Kirk Gittings]

Yes and as you go finer problems like screen clogging increase dramatically. Screen printing is more useful for very graphic art like block printing.

Basically Ultra Stable process, uses a stochastic screen, some of the nicest colour prints I have seen were done this way.

google. Todd Gangler, John Bentley

Granted its been a few decades since I did screenprinting and things certainly could have and probably have changed but ......

All I can find on Ganger is on color carbon transfer which is not screen printing AFAIK and couldn't find the Bentley you were talking about.

I used to colour screen print a lot ( and still teach it to my graphic design students) and I could never get it to look anything more than what it is... a colour screened print... if you know what I mean.
You would be better off learning colour carbon transfer printing.
