Experiment in Colour
Screenprint

It seemed to me that one should be able to make perfectly good inks by following the model of Japanese woodblock printers and using pigment and paste.
I made a paste medium by boiling cornstarch then added pigment dispersions. The print uses 11 pigments. Each pigment was printed twice - once vertically and once horizontally. As the ink dried it caused the paper to buckle badly. Even dampening the prints and putting them in a press didn't help.

(See Japanese red maple print- using wall paper paste instead of cornstarch)
