Book excerpt: Polychromatic screen printing is for painters, monoprinters, watercolorists, textile artists, screen printers, deconstructed screen printers, and anyone interested in obtaining multiples from one painted image on paper or fabric. Why labor over one painting when you can paint once and get multiples? This innovative process produces a limited-edition series from the original painted screen - with no color registration. Similar to an extended monoprint process, it yields 4-6 prints from a single painted image. For all levels of ability. No solvents are used. This method combines both painting and printing. It allows the same flexibility and spontaneity as painting on paper or fabric. You simply paint all the colors of your image directly on one print screen. One pull of the squeegee prints the image onto fabric or paper. Then pull the squeegee again for more prints. This newly expanded book is a complete step-by-step manual for the process with 88 photos and 11 illustrations. Included is background information for traditional screen printing, highlighting the distinct advantages of polychromatic screen printing.
