Here is the registration information for the Joe Clarke Ink Transfer Workshop at Mind's Eye Graphics July 29-30 in Decatur IN, sorry about the delay.
I hope everyone has been as busy as Mind's Eye has been for the last month.
Submit your registration to workshop@mindseyeg.com along with any questions.
If you can't make this event suggest another date as I am sure we will have a repeat.
Best,
-
Well I was hoping to make this session. Maybe next time. I also noted in the registration that Greg and Joe "reserve the right to respectfully decline registrations on an individual basis", so I likely would not have been allowed anyway.
Seriously, this is going to be one very eye opening workshop. I've been fortunate to have seen some of the information that will be shared, and it is nothing short of wonderful. Go. Be a sponge and benefit from two excellent speakers. Maybe I'll make the next one.
-
Info is now up at www.mindseyeg.com (http://www.mindseyeg.com) and will be referenced on FaceBook later this morning, we received several registrations last night and will be processing later today.
Looks like a sell out, I gotta buy more chairs.
-
you just received another ;) Tiffany and I are looking forward to it.
-
Thanks for not moving the date Greg.... ;)
It sucks I can't be there due to a trade show we are doing, but I will be most likely skyping in to say hi to everyone.

Someone should jump in on these last two spots. I'd be there if it weren't for a prior commitment. (No, I am really NOT being committed) You have a rare chance to sit with three of the greatest minds in the printing world at one time, for two days and nights. I promise your head will be spinning with all the knowledge you pick up at the workshop. I'll be at the next one.

Dave, that is so nice of you! I mean everyone assumed and knew about the two minds; Kitson and Clarke. But for you to take the time and acknowledge ME by saying 3 great minds, well that my friend was just peachy keen of you! :P
Looking forward to the weekend!

What does peanut butter have to do with screen printing, Joe knows.

Do you understand how a 9-Zone works? Joe knows...

And it begins, the Jedi Master and his younglins hoping to progress to Padawan...

Wish you were here!

I'm glad to see Joe got such a good turnout. Hopefully I will be able to make the next one.

I missed this post, but do have the answer as we discovered that you must use smooth, as the mesh openings required for the bits in crunchy need to be ridiculously large!
Hope yer all enjoyin' yer schoolin' this weekend!

The same reason you want to go with jelly, not jam. Can't tell you how many times I've had those little pesky strawberry seeds stick in the mesh and ruin a great sandwich-print for lunch.
On a more serious note.... What's the worst thing you've ever found contaminating your ink while printing? I think my experience about a year ago is the best... printing some manual shirts on a large run using some chrome green ink, and the screens start having little holes/tears appear in them... had to tape, switched squeegees thinking there was like a nic in the edge or something, then all of a sudden I get a long rip/tear in the screen mesh like WHAT?! Looking in the ink to find what the heck is in there that just ripped the screen.... then I see this little curved piece of... GLASS? Shards of Glass? Yep.
A bit of advice for ink-transfer, maybe Joe didn't cover this, but you definitely want to avoid shards of glass in your ink. LOL.... but Jelly and smooth peanut butter work great.
Now why were there shards of glass in the chrome green ink at this shop I was working for? Apparently someone had changed out a fluorescent light bulb a while before I had started there, and dropped a bulb over the press and glass shattered everywhere and went into a bunch of the inks which were near the same area (the previous printer told me the story when I called him to inquire, lmao, he said he was furious over it and thought he cleaned it all up..)... Another reason not to leave buckets of ink with the tops off, and be careful changing light bulbs over your press and ink area, haha! Come on there have to be plenty of horror stories like that, but I think shards of glass is in the top ten worst "ink-additives" to try with screen-printing. :P

Wish you were here!
Amazing group of screen printing professionals that I am proud to call my friends,
Special Thanks to Joe for the several hundred hours invested in prep for this event. He skillfully wove the technology and art of our industry into an amazing presentation.
The Workshop will be repeated after we have some time to audit and review all aspects of the event.
Watch here for details.
-
Making one of the classes is on my to do list.

Joe was an amazing presenter -- honestly, for as technical as the information and details that I expected him to talk about, I wasn't sure how he was going to make it understandable and keep my ADD mind focused for 8+ hours a day. I can say that not only did he do that, but he helped me connect a lot of the 'dots' lol, that I've been reading about for years.
I finally understand the 'why' of how you can lay down less ink, but yet have a better print (with the Milk vs Paper and grass presentation I just wasn't able to fully understand how to relate that back to printing and opacity). The fact that more EOM isn't necessarily a good thing (and can HURT your print in many cases). Why you want to use different duro squeegees which match the mesh openings, etc.
Now to try to implement the first 10-20% of what we learned :)

OK T-shirt Guys and Gals, Ink Transfer Part Duex is going to happen and possibly sooner than later.
Each of you who are interested please respond with your number 1 & 2 best times to make the trip to Mind's Eye.
It will be a Friday & Saturday and we will not do it the same weekend as any industry event that Joe and I are aware of.
So look at your personal and anticipated production calendars and give us your ideal weekend. We will run the numbers and get a date firmed up ASAP.
Joe is already revising content with section break summations that clarify the science just presented and how it relates to what you are doing on press. The Why this is important and the How it will improve your production cycle.
Remember more units per hour, more set-ups per day with less trouble equals more PROFIT.
Gonna be fun, looking forward to seeing more of you at Mind's Eye soon.
