The
Concept
Through the work that we have done with some of the most prestigious art
colleges and universities we firmly believe that there is a positive market
for a self-contained product for the younger educational user. The idea
was to design a simple yet effective unit that would allow schools and
colleges to offer a specialist facility that whilst creatively complimenting
the national curriculum is also a vocational tool and a potential fun money
earner for the purchasing establishment.
It was important to us that the unit and it’s accompanying supplies
could be used by educational professionals with no previous screenprinting
knowledge as well as those with some specialist background. Most of all
it was imperative that we design a facility that was compact and mobile
to easily fit within existing art departments, could be instantly used
from the moment of delivery, was robustly built and will allow the purchaser
to maintain an enjoyable, accessible and environmentally healthy place
of learning.
The Application
Screenprinting is one of the most versatile and popular known methods
of print. What makes screen printing so popular is the ability to
lay down a wide range of coatings on a vast range of substrates.
Everywhere you look are examples of the process and many places that
are hidden.
Applications include: textiles, posters and point of sale displays,
gaskets, watch dials, key pads, transfers, electronic circuits, car
windscreens, road signs, architectural glass, tableware, nameplates,
labels, ceramic tiles, vehicle instrumentation, mouse mats, office
equipment, membrane switches, estate agents boards, fuel cells, electronic
circuitry, playing cards, scratch cards, heating elements, baseball
bats, cricket bats, tennis rackets, skis clocks, fine art limited editions,
laptops, plasma screen televisions.
These are just a selection. The KPX Screenprint Station and the inks
supplied with it enable you to print both textiles and paper/board
so not only can it be used as a tool to encourage and support children
and young adults’ creativity but you can also have fun printing
the school logo on any number of substrates.
