Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

The materials used in screen printing have traditionally been some of the most difficult to deal with in terms of health and environmental hazards, so the development of water-based inks that produce results comparable to those of the familiar solvent-based systems is a welcome change. While the author, master printer-in-residence at the New York Institute of Technology's Screenprint Workshop, has produced a clear, affordable text suitable as an introduction to screen printing, the amount of space actually devoted to discussion of water-based systems could fit nicely in a pamphlet. The bulk of the book is devoted to a fundamental outline of the screen-printing process, and the good news seems to be that water-based inks haven't changed the basics in any significant way. The list of suppliers and the attention to water-based systems will be of some use to practitioners in the field; the rest of the book presents nothing new. Recommended for large graphic and fine arts collections and any collection with a need for a basic text on the subject.
