raphics play a critical role in our daily lives. In fact, they’re such an integral part of so many things that people often
take them—and the many pains involved in their production—for granted. The following showcase sets its sights on a
range of printed graphics, from pieces of fine art to retail displays, and gives some attention to the shops behind them.

Coronado Studio was founded in 1992. It occupies two buildings, employs three to five people, has a couple of contractors,
and runs an internship program in printing, design, and grant
writing. Coronado’s non-profit, Serie Project (www.serieproject.org), started the following year and was formally incorporated in 1999.
Serie Project is a founding member of the Consejo
Grafico, the consortium of Latino printmakers. Its purpose is
to give a greater voice to artists through the medium of serigraphy and to provide affordable art for the public. All Serie
Project prints are produced in a run of 50 that are then divided
between the artist and the studio. Approximately 70 pieces
total are printed to ensure a full run.
The shop’s equipment includes a clamshell press, metal
screen frames, and a vacuum table. The studio usually works
with mesh counts in the range of 280-305 threads/in. According to Brian Rise, master printer at Coronado Studio, separations are typically created by the artists by hand on Mylar
sheets using any opaque material. When computer-generated
separations are used, they’re printed to vellum or film by an
outside shop. Coronado’s exposure unit and washout tank are
handmade.
The studio uses TW inks and Ulano emulsion, and prints
are made on 100% cotton rag, acid-free, heavyweight paper
from various sources. An embossed chop with the Coronado
logo is applied to every print by hand.

“The artists are present in residency while the print is
being created,” Rise explains. “We try to tell artists to stay
around the range of ten colors so that we can finish in the time
allotted, but there is no real deadline to speak of. Each Serie
Project print is a work of art, so each has the potential to be
unique and impressive. The end result of all our work is the
creation of fine-art prints for public purchase.”
