The Texas Society of Architects/AIA limited-edition poster.
For Advocates for Architecture Day, Jan. 25, 2011, the Texas Society of Architects/AIA created 200 limited-edition posters of the Texas State Capitol's dome structure as a gift to state Senators and Representatives. The posters act as a reminder to the legislators of what is important to the architecture profession across the State.
Industry Print Shop screen printed our posters to give the limited-edition run a unique and special look. While the hand-printed posters were in production, we got a glimpse of the screen printing process.
Blank sheet is aligned to maintain a precision and ready to be printed.
Texas State Capitol image "burned" into the emulsion on the screen. The screen is secured to a vacuum table when ready to print.

With a downward movement, ink is pushed through tiny holes on the screen.
