Silk Screen Printing

john47 · 2012-05-28 12:47:21

Some advice needed. I plan on doing some large scale screen printing and hope to do it on canvas. Would I need to prime the canvas the same as if I was going to paint them with gesso or something? Thanks John Ryan

Yeah that's a brilliant idea, if you want to a long lasting durable art then this type of printing is very helpful, but you have to be aware of using gesso, Silk and canvas . Most often, there is a chance of bleeding through the silk.
Good luck.
