Side note, I think we must all give credit to Meaghan Busch for organizing all of the screenprinting inks by color as well as always keeping the printmaking studio in top notch organized form.

CMYK? No, CRYK.

Client: ”When this gets printed, what sort of colors get mixed together?”
Me: “Well, anything that gets printed is basically a combination of black, yellow, cyan, and magenta ink or toner…”
Client: “That’s unacceptable! I’m printing these for boys, not girls. Magenta is a girls color. Take the magenta out of your printers and replace it with red. Red is much manlier.”
