Printing Stress!

  I'm having a bad time with printing lately! I'm losing a lot of time out of my days to get nowhere. Last week I waited an hour for print drop in and I forgot to bring my paper, so I went to get it in which time my seat had been filled and I couldn't print. So I had to wait until 7pm to get my promo pack done.

 I also wanted to print part of my design digitally, and then foil another part, to show the diversity of my processes, but discovered I can only print the cards on the laser printer because they are double sided, so I couldn't foil them because the foil sticks to the toner as I've annoyingly found out.

  Then I thought, I could screen print what would be the foil bits with metallic ink! So, I spent a day cleaning screens and exposed them, I even bought the binder and mixed the paint ready. The next time I came down to actually print them, despite the fact that nobody is allowed to touch people's screens until at least a week after they were prepared, and despite my name being on them, someone decided to take them.

So, because I have a physical outcome - the purely digital printed packs, and not long left until the deadline with more pressing things to get on with for submission, I've had to give up. More stress than it is worth.
