Sorry for the bad pic. Heres one we were working on before going home for the day. Started as seven color going on ash. I added a darker blue for the flag before deciding to call it a day. I will take another pic when we run it.

To that extent Pierre, I had some problems with the black leaving lines and with Killer's help I then burnt the white on a 230 and had to send it around twice. Long print but I am satisfied.... The first time I really needed the 8 head machine, could have had a highlight white and not had the problems. I have several more to upload but no time right now. Thanks for your input and help......But yes I can say this is my first Simulated Process.... Got some work to do but really like printing it better than 4CP, lot more forgiving and brighter colors.

All looks good.  Nice to see the action on showing samples. I see some people are using the tried and true 230 base and 300 top colors at 22.5 degrees.  Seems to be a common working thing.

Donnie, the snake skin texture on the wording is awesome. Great idea.

sportsshoppe Not bad at all. What are those vertical lines?  Is that in the print?  Maybe it came out that way in the films?

Inkworks, Looking great. ;)

Dot-Tone,  your looking great too.  ?   Oh. sorry.  Thats me.

Dan since I only have 6 heads I started with a 160 mesh for the white and with that I was having a problem with the black reaching the bottom of the build up... I overcame that with changing my white screen to a 230 which put a little less ink and after a little work I got good opacity. It was a nightmare to start with but with a little help from my friends I got through it.. I really like the look but I really don't want to fight that white again..:( could cause me to revert back to my ole days. I will post a finished product soon, we are putting the left chest on as I type.

This last one is my (new to me) band. This is a re-make of the raglan 3/4 sleeve jersey the band sold on it's 1994 tour. The original art and films were lost so I re-created it bit by bit from NASA archive photos and old and new pictures of the bands gear.

Little 6 color we did yesterday, on sand.  The second pic on the darker shirt is just a sample print that I'll keep for our print portfolio.  This one was printed with maxo/extra opaque inks through 175's, 195's and one 230 (black), all one stroke.  Print order was yellow, green, flash, dark brown, red, flash, light brown and black.

...heres one I did last week, 500 pcs stonewash blue. the customer, who designed this in Illy, was warned that such a blue-themed design may not lend itself to a blue shirt. I hafta admit I was wrong, they came out quite nice.
Thanks TSB gang!!
