The stuio is equipped with high end facilities, with me on hand as a technical instructor with over ten years experience.
We have a professional Kippax screen printing vacuum press, which has impeccable provenance as a proofing machine at Thorp wallpapers where it was used for printing couture textiles and high end furnishings. It will fit a maximum image size of A1 on an A0 sheet, is equipped with a one armed squeegie and has excellent vacuum hold down strength. With this there's green square end squeegies in various sizes.
The Garden Room office, which doubles as an en suite bedroom, has a comfortable sofa bed, large desk with A0 cutting mat, print storage drawer, Mac with Adobe creative suite and an A3 Laser Printer.
There's a wide range of drawing materials, papers, films and printing inks provided. Outside under the eaves of the workshop we have a washout trough and powerful 35bar Bosch pressure washer. There's a drying rack with 30 A0 shelves. All the sundries such as screen chemistry and cleaning are imcluded.
The screens range from 68T to 120T and are all 850mm x 1130mm OD which fits an A1 image. On the mezzanine in the Garden Room is our large format UV LED exposure unit, capable of exposing screens up to 900mm x 1150mm OD. In the workshop there's a drying cabinet plus light table for tracing and imposition.
