Shades

It is important that I decide on appropriate colours for the print especially as this can risk visibility and the contrast of the design against its situational surroundings i.e. the visibility indoors or outdoors on the two fabrics I have chosen.

To eliminate chance I want to at least close enough see what possible results I can obtain. To do this I have created a graduated gradient pattern as an example to print and possibly manually try and transfer onto fabrics I obtained from Shepherds bush market earlier on in this project.

Its crucial to consider this factor as anything printed on fabric is visibility bleached by the sun light.

The shades of colour im considering come in form of grades of grey: 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40%

I had my consultation with Cameron Gilmartin this morning. The information I collected form this visit has proved vital to the setup of finally printing which I have booked for tomorrow.

FABRIC:

Silk Chiffon: £8.41 per metre

Silk Viscose: £8.42 per metre

WIDTH:

140 wide with a max printable area of 135cm

COLOUR:

Viscose silk brings out print but may be stark where the organza is very transparent so the image will have to have a good line weight for visibility.

TIME:

Possible 3 day turnover at twice the normal price as normal printing time is 7-10 working day, and as next monday is a bank holiday I am to worried to use the longer cheaper service.

COST:

4 metres of fabric @ £8.42

4 metres of print @ £148

Set up being a flat fee of £15

33.68 + 192.00 + 15.00 = £240.68 + £42.12 VAT

Grand Total of £282.80

Date booked for print will be 11am 24/05/10
