Award winners plus one recent. . .
« on: October 04, 2012, 05:21:13 PM »
rather crappy phone pix. I'll get something better when I finally come up for air, but this will give some idea of what they looked like.

all are discharge underbase (one was not, but on the consequent reprint today we changed that).
62 or 65 lpi all on 330s mesh.

all are 7 colors, BAD and Valkyrie are 4CP, Unleashed is simulated.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Pierre,

Did you do a discharge underbase then a plastisol highlight white? Your white is really white. I know photos don't represent the printed colors very well. Especially phone pics most of them alter the contrast so much the colors and whites are always over saturated.

Nice jobs. Keep up the good work. (Are you going to Vegas? I will maybe there Thursday night and Friday leaving Friday after the show.)

both dark shirts have two underbase (as do all our other award winning shirts on dark garments). The highlight white was plastisol.

yup!

The white is paper white and just as smooth. The BAD looks like it is printed on paper as a matter of fact. We ran the same thing with plastisol the first time around and the difference is HUUUUGE!

Looks like the one with discharge made the guy fat. Mental note discharge makes you fat.

Hey Pierre, just great as always. Do you mind if I ask if your 2 underbase whites are a duo-tone for greater dynamic range? Very nice prints.

Pierre which one has the DC UB? BTW the duo-tone UB was pioneered by Mark Coudray and gives greater tonal range. Very well done buddy!

both black shirts have two underbases. As Tony said, it gives a much wider tonal range. The first UB is actually very weak and usually gray rather than white. The second one sits on top of the gray and provides true white to print on (where it's needed).
If using just one screen, it is hard to put down enough ink to get a solid white or if you do it, the fine detail is overblown.
