Apron Print

In order to send my design to print, I had to first save my work as a tiff file and then take it down to digital print. Once I had opened it on the computers down there, I was then able to begin printing onto the material. Printing didn't take too long, but after it has been printed you need to leave your product at least a day or so in order for the ink to dry and fully absorb into the material. My work was laid out on drying racks like that in screen print where I came back the following day to collect it. When the print first comes out it's quite dull looking. The process isn't over either once the inks have dried. After it has been left a day or so you then need to steam your print in a special machine so that the colours come out and become a lot more vivid.
Here you can see me putting the apron into to be steamed.




First you need to pin the print onto some old sacking so that when you hang it to the steaming machine it can loop over the hooks without damaging your work.
