TLDR
I’m making a silkscreen printed poster, it looks like this. You can buy this at $36.92 per copy. It’s hand printed by me, colour by colour. Please read this post in its entirety before you buy, as there are no refunds/returns.

Artwork!

  • ☞ The artwork looks like this

  • The wonky stem has been fixed following feedback from the Interest Check thread

  • ☞ If you are checking the interest check thread (check check check!), ignore the colours in the digital mock ups. The colour of the print you get will vary slightly but will be closest to the test print. The reason being the colours are mixed manually when I print, to achieve that transparent overprinting effect.

  • ☞ The colours won’t be 100% accurate (hand-mixed paint), the artwork will have slight misregistration (compare prints in this image) as each colour is printed individually in my bedroom. I am not a professional printer.

  • Money and shipping matters!*

  • ☞ $36.92 per print including worldwide shipping via normal airmail. $1.92 out of the $36.92 is to cover Paypal fees.

  • Paypal me at [my username]@gmail.com - i.e. h____sp_ll@gmail.com

  • Fill in this Google Form so I can verify your purchase/order.

  • FAQ! - will be updated as questions come in.*

  • ☞ How did you arrive at $35 per piece? What’s the cost associated with making this happen?
    Going to keep this super transparent, here’s the math:
    My upfront fixed cost will be test print (I’ll first make 4 small screens to try and print with, to see if the overprinting effect works and to get the colours right). Second fixed cost is the actual set of 4 screens and ink/paper costs. This works out to be around $376 (500SGD).
    With each piece selling at $35, I will have to sell 16 pieces before I break even.
    At 50 pieces I will make $697 profit, but I consider this labour cost really, and this is assuming best outcome of 50 pcs all sold out.
    So I’d hedge a bit and say 20 pcs is my break even point.

  • ☞ How long will this take from ordering to receiving print?

  • 2 weeks to meet MOQ
  • 3 weeks for production
  • 1-2 weeks for shipping
    If this goes through, please expect your print in 7 weeks from now. Earlier if MOQ is hit in less than 2 weeks of course.

Group Buy Mechanism

  • ☞ Please Paypal me $36.92 x however may prints you would like. Once I hit 20 purchases, I will get the materials and order the screens + start printing.

  • ☞ No refunds/returns will be entertained.
    /* Please understand that the fixed part of Paypal fee will be taken by Paypal, so you will receive ~$0.30 less than you paid in the event of a refund.
