Everything is included in the cost of the course including a few tea-towels & tote bags to get your started.
You will be able to buy more tea towels and tote bag blanks at Inkspot Press on the day, or feel free to source your own.
On the day, you will take your image (either hand-drawn, a photograph or graphic design) and set it up on a screen for printing.
You will learn to mix your own ink colours and, with all the guidance you need, print a fresh batch of tea-towels and/or tote-bags.
This course is perfect for those who want to print their own designs and messages on tea-towels and tote bags for experimentation, as a small print run or as gifts for sale.
We ask that you email your image in advance to info@inkspotpress.co.uk so you can get the best out of the day. Please indicate which course you are doing and we will help you to prepare your transparency prior to the day.

The main delay for printing is prepping your transparencies, so please sort this in
advance and your day will run much more smoothly and you can spend more time on your
print action :)
Here’s some things to remember when prepping your image:
The screen can take up to a two colour print, so either two A3 size layers OR one big
A2 monoprint.
Please note: we can print up to A3 transparencies in Ink Spot - any bigger and we will have to use the frindly services in B5 Enterprise Point where there is a large format printer, We need advance warning for this and files will have to be sent in advance. Please note there will be an extra charge, for large positives for prices see www.inkspotpress.co.uk/services
Digital images should be saved as high contrast and sent in greyscale, not as CMYK or RGB files
—Linework should be more than 0.5 thickness.
—If you are working from a photograph, you will need to bitmap or halftone your
image in photoshop:
diffusion dither at 160dpi
or halftone at 60-80 lpi
works for us.
Please save your image as a PDF,TIFF or JPEG

more complex designs. You will learn the skills of registration and making colour separations to print in layers. There will be time for you to
work on and develop your own ideas through the process. Your tutor will help you to explore ways to produce the positives used
