What type of reg marks are you using? I used to use a fat mark and had alot of trouble registering jobs. I went to small centerlines and bullseyes in the corners and line up each screen to a film positive and bam I cut my setup times by more than half. Sometimes a small change can make a big difference.

On my manual I would P/F/P the white using it as the underbase and the showing white. Then depending how accurate your press and you are at printing, print the yellow and pink meeting each other. (the seps have to be dead on and you have to hold the dots.) I wouldn't do this at a really high LPI. I think a little larger dot would look better with this design (it is a seventy’s or eighty’s looking design). Maybe a 40 LPI.  If you want to make sure your ok. I would print a full yellow flash then the pink on top or the other way around if you have a really sticky yellow on that much coverage.

Your yellow should fade out at the top where the pink gets solid... keeps the color clean and the hand soft.

The best thing about using the hilite white would be that it would step on the wet pink and blend it nicely, and yep just like scott said you have to fade out the yellow as well.

If you want those killer seamless fades pigmented discharge would yield a superior print with amazing color and hand.

...just wanted to say that I really dig this design, the retro early 80s' feel speaks to me. simple too. Is that a font?

For 25-50 of this I'd sub it out to someone with a DTG. This kind of design tends to look better when printed digitally...
