Title: How Many Colors Here?
Post by: Prosperi-Tees on December 06, 2013, 01:39:35 AM

Hey yall, I am trying to put together a quote for a new customer whose current printer let him down and could not deliver. How many colors do you think this can print with going on safety orange tees?

if it was me:
WB
grey
lime
forest
black.


i'm sure you could get by with fewer colors but our job is to duplicate, not get close...

I would probably do what Homer mentioned, though you could probably drop it to 4 if you either used a high mesh for the black and halftoned the black on top of white, or it may look better actually laying the black down first and doing white on top, depending on the thickness of the deposit.  5 screens is going to be easier than 4 though imo
