Screenprints Stock One - Bulky News Print
Looking for a stock which would be both, cost efficient and heavy enough to print on, the stock had to be easy to place around walls and poster boards. Choosing to use bulky newsprint was made through looking at other posters and how they are printed, bulky newsprint is 6p for an A1 sheet this can produce 3 posters at the size of 520mm length x 298 widths, this is A3 size with 100mm on the length, this is not an unusual technique in poster design, inspired by my recent interview with Nick Loaring of the Print project whose posters are long and thin, much similar to this size, it is a technique to fit more information onto the page.
The bulky newsprint is an off white almost cream in colour this helped the red stand out well, making it bolder as well as giving character to the white space of the page. The paper has a rough recycled grain to it, this is one of the aspects which makes it cost effective and also environmentally friendly. The prints came out really strong and clear, the production ran very smooth which enabled a large production of posters, this outlines how simple and cheaply multiple posters can be produced to a high quality.
