The new book is entirely dedicated to the technique of screen printing and I tried to incorporate all my knowledge and experience, spread over 33 years.”
This book explains about screen print technology, from the beginning to now, showing some useful steps on Photoshop graphic, the concept of separations and screens making, how to print on the garment and other supports. “In this book, I tried to transfer all my passion and experience build on the field, every day and night working hard, trying to learn from the best around the world.
But, above all, this book is a way to talk about the most beautiful job in the world, a job that can unite people in a unique language, a unique goal and most of all again to transfer to the new generation this true passion for everything is about screen printing world, graphic and art,” says Angelo.
“Screen printing business is moving its steps in two different ways, especially in my Country, Italy. The first is the classical way, the one in which people want to become good printers following the rules dictated by the technique and build their own carrier on experience, hard work, sharing knowledge and knowledge. The second is about people that want to enter this business the easiest way possible, thinking that everything is easy and fast to do. If you are a screen printer you know that even after 33 years in this business you need to learn more and more. I don’t agree with people that think everything can be done without walking the right way,” he concludes.
