Want to try printing with coffee for yourself? Let us know what worked for you! For a full walkthrough, check out the blog at scrnprntl.ink/CoffeeScreenPrints.
I loved it! Please could you explain more in depth next time*why* you use the ingredients (why silica? Why vinegar etc?) Also, please do try to make use of coffee grounds? It is a waste product and if possible using it would be great
I tried silica because it was something that Colin already had lying around to give a better body to thinner Water-Based Inks. The product is called Aerosil if you were curious, but it's main ingredient is silica. I used Vinegar becuase I learned that some people have used it in the past as a natural dye setter. I wanted to start with as many household ingredients as I could. All of this was definitely a first attempt so check back in the future for the next go at it!
Nice work! Vinegar, however, isn't a fixative with natural dyes. Try scouring your t shirt with washing soda and then mordanting your shirt with aluminum sulfate. The print will be brighter and more color fast. Also your coffee dye bath should be very concentrated, use much less liquid and cook it down well before you mix it with your thickening agent. See Jenny Dean's book Wild Color for more information on scouring, mordanting and creating a dye bath.
Great demo, I am looking to mix dry pigments with a textile base/binder, different names in different parts of the world. What would you recommend I use. I had someone suggest Permaset print paste, do you have something similar in your product line?
Good morning! That sounds rad! I would totally encourage you to experiment. You should look at the Green Galaxy Clear core, Opaque Core, or the Stretch Core. Start with minimal amount of pigment to start your testing....3%. Hope that helps some.

That is some great information for our next attempt. Thank you for the tips!
@@Ryonet This, and try print paste (sodium alginate) for the thickening agent.
Love it! "beans juiced and reduced" 😂
It would be cool to see you do a natural print like henna or other natural dyes
Maybe cure it perfectly would help the color stay longer
