Hi Folks,
Is there a magazine that presents general knowledge and issues that a new person to silk screening would find useful? What is the name if such a mag exists.
Thanks
Bart

Google is your friend. However, ditching the obsolete term "silkscreen" in favor of "screen print" helps a bunch.

depending on your level of expertise, some magazines will be better fit than the others. SGIA Journal (the garment edition) also has some fantastic info in it.
In the end, most of those articles are already on the web and a search when you get in trouble will probably result in better results than reading the magazines. Screenweb seems to have particularly good selection of articles that tickled my fancy. Your mileage will vary.
And let's not forget the depository of knowledge and answers here on the board. . .

I read all the popular trades, Screenprinting, Impressions, Printwear, and a few other whose names escape me, but they all have become diminished or online versions. Well, it is 2018...
I love magazines though, far better than on my iPad...

I get all tingly inside when a new Impressions or Printwear comes in the mail.

Books that present the whole process from beginning to end are perhaps the best way to get up to speed. They won't really teach you everything you'll ever need to know, but they can give you enough of an overview that you'll know what's being talked about elsewhere. My introduction to screen printing was Fresener's "How to Print T-Shirts ...for Fun & Profit." I've learned a lot since then (still learning all the time, actually), but that book got me into the pool, so to speak.
