I's love to know more about your setup SERJ.  Stuff like exposure unit, how you're handling films, etc.  That kind of LPI is basically unheard of for shirts, but those prints look insane.

Wow the detail in those is simply amazing.

May I ask- do you use films or a CTS unit? Also what do you use for a exposure unit?   I am wondering if maybe you use magic :)

Here is a larger fragment

I'm now questioning everything I've ever known.

Seriously, awesome work. This thread puts me to shame but I love it. Gives me something to shoot for.

Isn't Artem from Russia too?   I seem to remember he was doing 150lpi halftone work on 305 mesh.. not sure how he does it or gets away with it.  It may be a case of 'never hearing the 'rules' and not having a polluted mind'

I do know that he uses an image setter tho...

Seriously awesome work tho... Very jealous of the quality you guys pull off.

Ok, I was ok with everything until the manual part...that's ridiculous.  Numerous times I've put process jobs on the manual to sample and try to get colors right, and I can't get anything close to what we get on the auto and now that skull print comes out on a manual press?  Just like everyone else, humbled.
