Screenprinting on cow's leather?

Question

I'm looking to get a Cannibal Corpse logo printed on the back of my jacket, the colours will be red and white.
First of all, is this possible?
Secondly, what are the best inks to use and what kind of results will I get?

Answer 1

You could have it screen printed but it might be easier - and less expensive - if done by hand.

For screen printing, two screen images will be needed (one for each colour) so that's a cost factor. Screen printing is generally done for multiple copies of the same image.

For hand painting, good quality Acrylic paint or acrylic inks work very well on leather and should hold up pretty well. Just enlarge the image using your computer - stitch together 2 or more pieces of paper if necessary - then trace the outline using copy paper. This paper comes in gray and white for use on dark surfaces - check your local hobby store.

Good luck with it!
