4 CP angles?
« on: December 30, 2011, 02:04:05 PM »
OK guys and gals, I know you all have angles you like in doing four color process. Care to share them with me? Just looking to smooth out some rough edges on our work. We're doing true four color process using Wilflex inks, through 355-31 Sefar mesh. Looking forward to your responses.

This is going to be a good one. Almost every shop seems to have different ways of doing things. We have used one master's technique and anothers and both were radically different in the art seps and the printing but both ways produce amazing results. You just have to choose what works for your shop. I look forward to the responses as well!

Random dot.  Stochastic.  No need for angles to produce a good CMYK. Angles just add more variables.

try 25.5 for all screens. You will be amazed at what the result is as long as your color correction is done properly before converting to cmyk.

There was a very lengthy discussion in our group on facebook about this subject. Had some great industry leaders chime in and offer their opinions as well. Mark Coudray offered a lot of info and is at the top of the game.

Here are some good conversations that went on at this forum. A few of the same guru's chimed in on that one as well.

Bookmarks still do not work for the general membership, but are close to the top of the list of New Year improvements.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?
