Hiya all,
I'm new to screen printing, and I really wanted to know an answer to a question I can't find on google (mainly as I don't quite know how to explain it... so bare with.)
When you make a screen print, obviously the amount of ink you apply can vary the print (which adds to it most unique and gorgeous charm) but does it also create decay/textured effects on your print?
I am a designer, and I want to get posters printed, however I was unsure if I had to add these texture decay effects in the illustration process, or it is just a natural effect that comes with printing. I am sorry if its a really stupid question, but I am very curious and always admired and loved screen printed art & design.
I have attached an image by the awesome Andy Smith to try and make my question easier to answer. Please can someone help me.
Thanks Matt

Re: Texture / Decay Effect
They are added in Photoshop or whatever graphic software you are using to create your films.
There are allot of tutorials on it if you search a bit.

Thanks dude, I thought so, but I wasn't 100% sure. I didn't want to not put any in, or put them in and for it to have extra from the print lol.
