50 DPI??? you mean 50 LPI

Just incase someone reads this and starts designing their artwork at 50 DPI.

That is impressive. The brown really looks brown. I really have a hard time believing that was done with just white and orange on the black shirt...very nice....

Great use of the black shirt for the black in the design.  Damn, if all jobs like that could be done with 2 colors and still look good, I guess we'd all be freaking good at our jobs then.

This is a good example to compare canned seps to a separation studio. More than likey the sep software would "see' more than two colors; making the project more expensive. One could of course weigh that against the cost of outsourcing the job however. On that note we will be downloading the brand new Ultraseps software for the free trial. Sounds promising.

Great work.

I am amazed that that is done with only 2 colors!

I'm a stickler for that too, but everyone, or almost everyone interchanges those terms to the point that we "know what they meant". I have an old book on PS called Photoshop in Black and White, and they even acknowledge that it gets mixed up, but depending on the use, just use the number and ignore the descriptor. For the noobs, raster images (either scanned or created in Photoshop) are PPI (pixels per inch), inkjet and laser printers print in DPI (dots per inch) and halftones are LPI (lines per inch).

And, wicked pissah print. Just goes to show what you can do with 2 inks and a shirt color. Dan's the man.

Good work, and only 2 Colors.  No H.L. White?

Seems to me we've been discussing this somewhere else...

I'll give Dan thumbs up because he really knows how to blend colors to make other colors, thats something I,ve been trying to work on to help curve some cost for my customers.  Abel that works with Killer is another guy that really understands how to blend colors to get others, I,ve printed his seps before and was wowed by them.  You can be a great artist and not have a clue how to get your art to print and some art guys can do both and Dan is one of them.

Is there any way to see a close up of the brown area?

Post by: Dottonedan on November 18, 2011, 05:31:44 PM
I'd like to see a close up shot as well.  Would be good for me sep portfolio. :)

I'm very happy about this one because of it's ablitly to show what is possible.  The bigger pictur here is that it really does take two, or three, or more to make it all work just right. In Donnie's case, He's the printer, the ink guy and the screen guy, so he's got more control than the larger shops.  I can do the best seps I can, but you still need a good printer and everyone else down the path to a final printed tee. My seps are useless without everyone else doing their part as well. That Donnie, he knows how to stroke a screen well. I always say that I can guarantee good seps but I can't guarantee everyone is capable or already knows what needs to be done yet to make it all work well.  Although, I have been known to make a new printer dance and sing my praises in the streets. Hahaha.

Donnie is a good printer and an even better person. He gets better and better every time we do something together. He's probably going to be asking me to do something for a competition here soon. LOL. Competitions are for printers. They get all the glory anyways.  I begged and begged Pierre to include my name this time but noooooo.  He said NO, you get your own shop. :(  haha.

One good thing about Donnie is that for when he needs art done, he does pass work around to different artist and gives them a chance. He spreads the wealth and doesn't put all of his eggs in one basket. He's a great customer and we appreciate him. I don't get all of his work but maybe with this tee, he will start to give me a little more. :)

Cheers to Donnie!
