Fabulous Florence – Signature Prints & Florence Broadhurst

Above – The naive Cats and Mice print being printed from Florence’s Children’s bedroom range.
This image shows the design Monsterio, which is a two colour print and here it is being printed on fabric. A
separate frame is needed for each colour that is in a design, these screens must all ‘register’ perfectly with each
other, if any of them are a millimetre out the repeat will not be consistent or hang properly. Creating more than
one screen involves breaking up the original design and creating separate images on clear sheeting, this will be
exposed onto a screen using a light sensitive permanent ink.
The design in this image is also waiting for its second repeat, but already has had it’s second colour applied. We
print every other section of the substrate we are using to enable the ink to dry, this is because each frame extends
over the edge of the first print. If we were to print on wet or damp ink imperfections would occur and spoil the
whole piece we are working on.
