What Experiment is this?
Well… I wanted to think about expanding my creativeness within my printing by printing in a larger format size instead of thinking about the A3 size scale that I normally work in. If I have the chance, I prefer to work onto Acetate so that I can transfer any type of pattern or image that I want to use within my printing and then screen printing it. I always expect great results from my printing strategies and ideas but sometimes finding materials and using them can be a bit of a problem for me…
Is it impossible to get hold of A2 or A1 size cheap single Inkjet Acetates anywhere?
So I began searching online through a considerable amount of online shops that sell Inkjet acetate in a larger size of either A2 or A1 size and I could say that this was not easy task to do. I looked and looked and I ringed and ringed company after company to see if they sold A2 size acetate but all I got was a no and even the business owners themselves did not know how to get hold of it! I was like… this has to be an impossible piece of material to get hold of.
So how will I be able to pursue my art ideas now?
So yes I felt quite frustrated about this and at the end of this dark tunneled moment there was hope in the end! Just one last company to see if he sold A2 size Inkjet acetate and this guy also said no. but… Then I asked him if I could phone his dealer to see if they would supply me some larger scale acetate and he said he would phone up his dealer instead. He phone up his dealer to see if they could supply me some A2 size Inkjet acetate. The answer was… yes! :)
The shop owner said that he would be able to get some A2 Inkjet acetate delivered to my address and have to order at least 30 equivalent sheets in order to get hold of some. So I said to him to send me an A3 size sample of acetate to see if it will print nicely on the UCS Inkjet printer in the printing room. Now all I have to do is wait until I can receive it either on monday or Tuesday and see how well the acetate will print out. fingers crossed that this will work out for me in the end!
