De Stijl Customization Question

I am working on a a but of customization Doesberg and Kegler's De Stij — mainly on upper case K and V.

I am fairly happy with the V (80% there) but having a bit of a harder time with the K — partly to do with the fact that's it's followed by an E.

Any thoughts or comments?

Thanks.

Printing

I am making my first steps into poster printing for a project i am doing for my record label.

I find it surprisingly difficult to find a run down of printing techniques online...
