Screen printed poster project, starting with a classic pose from 007 in the Dr No film.
So we have our original image that we turn into a halftone, then we mask this out so we just have the half tone – ready now to create a transparency.
This is what we are looking to create, a four colour print of James Bond as an A3 Poster.
I like the 90T screens for the finer detail but you can use a 77T for this too, these are 16″ x 20″ frames which print nicely on to A3 paper.
Here’s some of the first test prints.
Bond, bang bang!
