What have you printed lately?

[IntegrityShirts]

P and Alan, thanks for making my point LOL....... Sometimes I'm not that great with words HAHA

We just printed the green energy engine print today(reorder) and it was 1 pass all the way around on all colors..... No double stroking needed at all


here was a pic of the old print but always look the same

Can I buy one of those, its that cool.

+1 can I get in on a shirt-a-week plan?

I know this goes without saying, but WOW NICE PRINT!

Don't think I've really posted here, mainly because we don't do that much sim process work. Well we got one, even had 2 separators turn us down on doing the seps. Needless to say that really freaked me out, after all was said and done 9 colors is what we have below. Critiques and comments are welcome and appreciated. Personally I think I'm going to try to bump up the underbase on the shield part of it and pull back on the final black.

for anybody reading, most of that art was done with 4/1000th of an inch lines. I understand why separators would turn it down! Who did you get to separate it and did you manage to keep the small lines or was the art changed? That would be technically most difficult print I have ever seen (yes, counting in all the crazy SGIA winning stuff).

I didn't end up changing anything, same file I sent you. Dan handled it. The customer is super happy with it as-is and gave the green light, but I feel we can do a bit better. Nothing like being thrown into the deep end and forced to learn how to swim!

Here is a new pic from a better phone, criticism still welcomed!

I always feel this way, especially after visiting this thread, keeps me on my toes.  Good print.

Keep in mind, the size of the art also.  Bigger is better. Many people print images at 40-45lpi on large prints cuz you can easily and the print still looks great.  Take the same 14-16" wide print and print it at 8" across and at 55lpi and the visual quality (and the smooth gradation windows) are reduced. You almost have to treat a smaller print differently than a very large print.  I like to ask my sep customers to take my sim process left chest prints up to 65lpi if I can and I adjust the seps accordingly.

Down to 30 DPI on the S2S line

Looks like some of the color was lost in translation from the original, but other than that it looks solid to me.  Not to mention probably the most brutal hip-hop album cover of all time. 

Meanwhile, I was just about to post a two color halftone print we did the other day.  After the last few posts, I think I'll just go back to being a spectator.

What colors? Where? Did I send you the original file? Am I going crazy? Pretty sure I am way too concerned about this print. It is a DC UB and PC top colors, part of me wanted to try WB top colors but I didn't want to add another thing to the mix. I really want to add to the UB screen just on the shield, make it a touch brighter.

Appreciate any comments, this is the first thing I've been this excited about printing in a while.

Suppose I could just look for someone with a T-Jet and nail it....


The cover is pretty crazy you are right Brett, they had like 6 final designs to decide from. Go figure the print for the hoodies is a 1/1 black ink on ash hoodies, think I can handle that one!

Do you have any closeups of that skull one?

The depth on this print is unreal.

[GaryG]

Fantastic detail~
Correct math here?:
120.34cm X 2.54" = 305 mesh
Approx. needed mesh to hold 90dpi/lpi =
90 X say 4.0 = 360 mesh
90 X say 4.5 = 405 mesh

How such clean images without moire or dots being blocked?

Thanks,

I think you need 90 X 2,54 . I'm from Russia and more I can't say. I use emulsion Ulano QLT , it allows you to print high Lpi. Sorry for my English.

i'm shamed

QLT here too is great!
Open area must be in thread diameter to allow ink transfer without
blocking dots with that mesh/cm, thanks.
It's phenomenal stuff!!
