Water-based screenprinting

Water based screen-printing became an imperative with the introduction of new health and safety legislation. Hoskins undertook a survey of all the ink available up to 2001. Based on applied research undertaken from 1997-2001 this volume consolidates programmes of work conducted in the Centre for Fine Print Research into advanced print processes and includes details of comparative research undertaken to demonstrate the diversity of products available. The book also draws upon examples of artworks produced by artists from a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities.This book has since been translated into German and Chinese: Hoskins , S. 2002 Siebdruck mit wasserrloslichen Farben, ISBN 3-258-06424-5.
