Wow! It is very difficult to print the Royal Crest
Dear EMilio
Thank you very much for the pic!
This crest is extremely difficult to print, need precision to line various layers.
From my experience in the tampon and silkscreen, I guess the yield is very low.
As each colour is layered on top, it has another for the printing to be rejected.
From your pic, my guest is:
- A layer of solid white
- Light creamy yellow
- Bright yellow
- Red ( no smudging of ink which close up the characters
- Dark blue outline
Enjoy your piece!

The Thai King
The King's 80th Birthday was a huge event in Thailand. A friend sent me a picture frame containing the King's portrait, two coins and a bank note. The colour is Yellow befitting for a King. If I had that beautiful Chopard Watch, I would definitely wear it...
