Recently we had the pleasure of doing prints for artist/designer Philip LeBlanc!
These 18″ x 24″ prints were done through a CMYK 4 colour separation process. They turned out quite amazing.
Limited edition “Uptown Saint John” prints are available for purchase here.

The process of CMYK screen printing is very effective when screen printing a photo realistic image. Photos can be authentically actualized through the layering of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks, allowing for the CMYK to blend creating a large spectrum of varying colour.
Here are some production shots that illustrate the process of laying down all 4 colours!
We printed the posters for this year’s Toronto Urban Roots Festival (or TURF, clever acronym, no?). It was designed by Jud Haynes, and features chipmunks having a time in a tree. Beyond charming. Thanks, Jud!
