Beginning to Screenprint

Today I have begun to print my book. I have printed out the positives and exposed them onto a large screen.

To speed up the process, I am doing the blue colour all on one piece of paper, then cutting the paper later, then layering over the pink/red. So far it's going really well. A problem with this process is the waiting time; the length of this process is due to waiting for screens to dry, to be exposed, for the printing bed to be available etc. 

Another problem that I experienced was that I could not get the colours that I wanted; the pink/red that was in my digital files that would be overlaid could not have any other colours in other than process colours (magenta, yellow and cyan). Resultantly, the colour that substituted my digital colour was a mixture of mostly magenta with 20% yellow and a touch of cyan.
