Flocking is the process of depositing small fibres (flock) that when heated raise to create a surface texture with the prints. It will be applied to the terrestrial planets to accentuate the solidity in comparison to the gaseous planets. We found the technique created a really interesting surface on the stock. We'll definitely have to practice this print process in order to perfect the consistency of the flock as some areas came out quite patchy. We found it was more effective/contrasting on the black stock.
The areas that were interesting were actually on the misprints where the paint created shapes that one might find on the surface of a terrestrial planet. Like the screen that was used for the metallic screen prints, the screen wasn't properly exposed due to the printer so this definitely would have effected the quality of the flocking print.
