When printing on fabric an extender is often used to thin fabric inks and allow them to pass through the screens. I did experiments with fabric inks and acrylic paints and came to the conclusion that adding extender caused the ink to smear and bleed. Normally would be absorbed into the fabric. I found the using acrylic paints without any extender I was able to minimise the ink smearing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/print_collection.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/print_collection-1024x590.jpg\" alt=\"The results of my thermofax screen printing\" width=\"1024\" height=\"590\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image wp-image-164\"  style=\"max-width: 1024;\" srcset=\"http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/print_collection-1024x590.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/print_collection-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/rain_print_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/rain_print_1-640x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Man in the rain design on an overdrive\" width=\"640\" height=\"1024\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image wp-image-166\" style=\"max-width: 640;\" srcset=\"http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/rain_print_1-640x1024.jpg 640w, http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/rain_print_1-187x300.jpg 187w, http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/rain_print_1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/crow_print.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/crow_print-640x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Crow design on a modded muff fuzz\" width=\"640\" height=\"1024\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image wp-image-163\"  style=\"max-width: 640;\" srcset=\"http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/crow_print-640x1024.jpg 640w, http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/crow_print-187x300.jpg 187w, http:\/\/distofx.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/crow_print.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend I finished off a couple of enclosures.
