Notes

This was our first promotion/advertising poster. We printed it at Expo NT at Darwin High Schoo. Shaun and I dragged the screen table and some drying racks out on a trailer to demonstrate acreeprinting to the public and introduce them to water soluble screen inks. We were impressed with the results of the ink as they did not dry out. We were printing these posters in the sun in he middle of the dry season with the wind blowing.
