You can't even source a quote for that paper! Couldn't you chuck it on Conquerer and say it was fancy jap paper?

Yeah we were one of the first to use it - but it's not cheap stuff, looks lovely in the flesh though! Would love to do a SNES or maybe Gamecube one, my boss is a Megadrive-ophile though.

I can't imagine it being an issue mate.

Do you do all your screen-printing in-house? If not what are screen costs nowadays? I think they were at about £15 per screen when I used to get stuff done but with digital print (and especially the newer printers being able to do spot UV and direct to substrate printing) I'm surprised you chose screen printing for a first run. Saying that you obviously know the market better than me but as nerdy as us gamers are what you are producing is nearer the top-end geekiness isn't it? I'm not sure if I've said but I produced my first canvas the other day (4'x2' with 38mm returns on a 440g/m² artistic canvas) and I have had a few friends say that they would love some gaming related ones. I use a Roland VS-640 EcoSol printer, I can print upto 1600mm high (upto the length of the roll which is generally 50m) in one hit but obviously this can be tiled for larger prints. We are looking at the UV equivalent at some stage so that we can print straight to ply.

No, we're a digital agency so we don't do much print work, this is a self initiated project between a friend of mine and me so we used one69a in Manchester.

Not sure what the cost of the individual screens were, but i think the printing itself was around £550-600 including set up and mixing ink (they mixed us a the two MD colours and very 'Sonic' blue). 

We were originally going to get it done in a 3 colour litho, but went for screen printing mainly because of the vibrancy, and quite liked the fact that there was a bit of craft behind it. I had a few concerns about how the red/green/blue would blend, but they assured me it'd be fine and to be honest they did a cracking job of it.

The HP indigo stuff has some amazing results for digital - it was more a choice for us of going for quality on everything and hoping that people would see that in the finished product - We also got a great photographer involved to document the whole job, as I think that shows the attention to detail that went into putting them together.

Bought!

Cheers guys, you won't dissapointed - Hard to do the quality justice with just photographs

Was gonna ask abouit the paper it looks deluxe.

I used to get my screens done for 30quid. Used to hate doing stuff for bands that wanted screened tees. They didn't seem to understand the cost implication of screens, especially when they wanted several colours. Dicks.

Nice work Dan, excellent execution. You guys must be made up with the finished product.

We featured (briefly) on the GiantBomb mailbag last week:

I just watched and did a SQUEE when Patrick held it up

A little happy noise

Sorry to drag this up - bit got some new shots done this week in prep for the prints feature in the 'Every Day Is Play' book that's coming later in the year - I wanted to try and show some of the texture and finish so decided to show it slightly rolled instead of flat —

That roll looks lovely
