New e-book from MacDermid Autotype brings science to the art of screen printing

Written by a team of industry specialists, including Professor Steven Abbott, Tricia Church, David Parker and Anna Harris, the new e-book has been produced in an easy to read format, making it a great reference tool for apprentice and experienced screen printers alike.

The e-book is divided into sections, covering screen printing theory, common problems and cures, with a focus on issues such as colour shift, exposure and moiré effects. Throughout, the authors concentrate on explaining how different aspects of screen printing technology can be handled with a scientific and common sense approach, at the same time dispelling many of the myths that surround this age-old process.

The new e-book has been reviewed by leading industry commentator, Sophie Matthews-Paul, who commented, “In an era where the heaviest concentration in technical terms seems to lie in digital production, it is refreshing and encouraging to know that that there are still specialists out there who care enough about the screen process to set about informing printers on how to improve their production. ‘How to be a great screen printer’ is therefore essential reading for all those who want to optimise the quality of their output”.
