Screen printing flyers tests

Thinking about how I could use the flyers are collected at the Edinburgh fringe project.
Maybe they could be made into actual pages using a paper making process - Need to test this.

Did some tests with screenprinting, seeing the impact of white ink being pressed over the flyers.
Tested various degrees of opacity over the flyers starting with a lower opacity trying to become completely opaque. This became difficult as there was more acrylic in the mixture than binder making screen dry out a lot faster than normal.
The overall process wasn't super effective, the flyers that had folds in them caused issues with the screen printing process. Also the flyers which were using the highest opacity of acrylic paint were patchy in places and left a lot of the content visible. Another issue is the stickiness of the pages, the more acrylic used the more tacky coating. This meant that the pages stuck to each other especially as many of the flyers originally had a plastic coating meaning the binder and acrylic mixture couldn't dry completely over the flyer.

- Need to think of another way of using the flyers if this isn't successful.
- Test placing text and image over the flyers to see the overall effect.
- These screen printed flyers could maybe be used as chapter pages with the final book, this could have a similar impact as if all the pages were made out of screen printed flyers without looking too gaudy.
