METALIC ABSTRACT DUO-TONE PRINTS
By Damon Roberts
A selection of prints i've made with a metalic Duo-Tone silkscreen process. This process needs two screens of the same image. One needing a much sharper contrast than the first for the process to work effectively.
The first screen creates the base of the image in a metalic ink. The second sharper screen overprints the image in a cream acrylic ink. The juxtaposition and contrast of the two inks creates the duo-tone effect.
When done correctly this creates a print that has a semi reflective shimmer effect with looks absolutely incredible when direct light hits the sheets surface.
Check out the 'Test Tones' prints i have for sale that feature this process.

When producing print editions i have to create one unique film and screen per colour. It's quite a time consuming process.
