Yeah Pierre, I think the content beat out the execution on your print. That's
some creepy shiz.

Finally have an interesting print to show.  I don't get too many complicated jobs, but I thought this one turned out cool.

Union process inks on Hanes 4820 100% polyester tees.  50lpi 22.5 angle

Y - 230m single hit
M - 230m single hit
C - 230m double hit
K - 230m double hit

That's interesting that you used CMYK.  I would've gone the route of Black, Blue, Grey/Blue, White, all w-o-w sim process on this. 

You got a good contrast from the faded background to the foreground. 

Gotta ask: 

Is that a little moire or the weave of the material in there? 

Why CMYK and why 50 lpi on 230 mesh?

What's the 'm' on the mesh stand for?

Nice B, you always got some nice stuff to print.  Still see that you got those amateur...oh, um, sorry, safety gates up around the press :).  Had to bust them balls, I like giving people a hard time about those.  No disrespect to those who use them, I know most of you who have them have to have them up for regs and rules and other BS.

Thanks, ya we get to print a lot of cool stuff.

The safety rails, I feel like its worth it being up, we have people in the shop at times and I feel like it is worth them being there for that reason if nothing else.  Plus I lean on them a lot while  I watch Shelly work.  LOL

I have them up because I was almost killed by my machine.

That's because your machine is a steaming pile of crap.  LMAO.  Sorry had to bust your balls.  LOL.

What's the 'm' on the mesh stand for?

It's hard to tell from the cell phone pic, but there's a really dark red blood spatter on the shield in a few very small parts.  There's also a sneak peak of yellow in the light effect on the shield so that's why I went cmyk.

The lines you see in the pic I think is the angle the pic was taken or possibly the weave of the poly playing tricks because of the sharp angle?  I dunno.  It looks good close up in person, no eye-crossing dizzyness. 

I use 50lpi pretty regularly on 230's.  Seems to work out well and better ink transfer on poly than a higher mesh for sure.  Pressures between heads were tweaked until I got a decent print and double stroking the blue and black with lighter pressure yielded a better print.  "m" just stands for mesh lol I don't know why I put that after it.
