Welcome to the second edition of The Theory and Practice of UV Screenprinting. The original has been used as not only an introduction to ultra-violet screenprinting but also for those who wanted to take their printing skills to the next level. Within the 204 pages, you will find 23 chapters with a comprehensive study of UV screenprinting from the Master Printer of Fine Arts, Michel Caza, with over 350 awards for his work printing several thousand original serigraphs for artists worldwide.<\/p>\n
The table of contents below shows how well the book covers the entire process of UV screenprinting.<\/p>\n

The original illustrations were updated, and new ones added. And there is a Foreword written by Mark A. Coudray.<\/p>\n About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n Michel Caza entered the screenprinting field in the mid-1950s.<\/p>\n He has created several companies in France and has printed several thousand original serigraphs for artists worldwide. Michel has received more than 350 awards for his work in many screenprinting applications. He is considered a master printer of fine arts.<\/p>\n He is responsible for many technological advancements in UV technology and inks, fine line half-tone printing, continuous tone printing, superpositions of transparent inks, and textile printing.<\/p>\n In 1962, Michel became a \u201cfounding father\u201d when FESPA (Federation of European Screen Printers Association) was formed as a ‘non-profit’ organization by a group of screenprinting associations whose aim was to create a platform to share knowledge on screenprinting technology in Europe.<\/p>\n Michel was also the recipient of a Lifetime Member of the Specialty Graphics and Imaging Association (SGIA), which has changed its name to Printing United Alliance.<\/p>\n In 1981 Michel won the prestigious Academy of Screen & Digital Printing Technology\u2019s Swormstedt Award for Excellence in Technical Writing for The Theory and Practice of UV Screenprinting.<\/p>\n Michel’s peers inducted him into the Academy of Screen & Digital Printing Technology in 1982. He received the Howard Parmele Award, the highest distinction of the Specialty Graphics and Imaging Association (SGIA), in 2010.<\/p>\n Product Details<\/strong><\/p>\n Format:<\/strong> Adobe PDF
