Just look at this horse!

Ok, I did this one on Friday afternoon at 95lpi, CYMK. Just messing with things to see if I could, I  held down from 3% up to 95% dot. Working on getting things linearized to pull back some bot gain.
I think it came out good, but going to tweak my formula a bit still.

Full Spectrum,

We want to keep this thread just about showing your prints and describing how it was done.

It would be better for you to edit, select your post, copy, and paste into a new section such as "separation programs".  Your post could lead into a long drawn out discussion. loger topic discussions haven't been in this thread and it's worked well so far by just posting your latest work. You could pose that question where it would be more engaged.

Murphy,
My hays one odd looking horse but it's certainly a fantastic print. Great detail.  Can you take a blow up image under a loop to see how the dots are blending?

Nothing too wild. 5-color sim process on a nasty Crimson comfort colors tee.

Really nice job considering the color count on this! You guys do the seps in-house?


Sure did. Started in sep-studio, then into PS for tweaking and color adjustments.


I don't understand why you would have to still use PS after using another separation program that works outside of PS.    Why would you have to "tweak" and make "color adjustments" in another program after using a dedicated color-separation program?   Also, you realize you can get the separations directly in photoshop using defaults right?   So if you are using photoshop anyway, why are you using this other program to generate the color separations which can easily be done directly in photoshop and more accurately with the selective-color tool?    Just make your seps right in photoshop, or go with a more professional separation solution.    Does the program you're using even generate the halftones or leave it up to you or another program you have to buy??


That's just the way I did it,how I like to do it, and it turned out pretty damn good. Don't really care to hear your ramblings when I'm doing what works for me.

I don't like bugs (close to phobia). That print is too real, thus had to force myself to look at it.

Those details on the compound eyes are amazing.

Underbase, Wow!! What emulsion and light source are you using?
It's not a job if you love doing it.

I'll do my best. This is with my phone and a loupe. This was done with all your guy's equipment. BTW.

Murphy- wow, that looks almost stochastic under magnification. 

Is this CTS imaging I presume, given the ultra high lpi?

I don't think CTS should be on this thread!
