I tried and tested my new Gocco yesterday. It's neat. For those unfamiliar with screen printing - heres a run down of pre print planning needed for a layered two colour print...
1. Create design
2. Separate design into two colours - one colour on one tracing of your original design, the second colour on a separate second tracing of your original design.
3. This is a picture of my home made light box - its an acrylic mag rack with a light bulb underneath to help with tracing original lines accurately.
4. Expose photocopy of master drawing for colour 1 and print first colour several times.
Expose photocopy of master drawing of colour 2. Using a registration sheet, carefully print colour two directly on top of colour one lining them up for a seamless overlay. I have a PG 10 Super which allows for accurate registration.
