WOW.  Looks great.

You forgot to tell them it has none of the following inks.  Brown, Black, Orange, Gray.
That brown came out good. I like the smooth looks from all of the halftones meshing together. NICE.

230 base
300's top colors.

55lpi, 22.5 degree's and ellipse dot shape.

Hey Donnie,
What inks are you using for this?

It's like this...some people learn by seeing, others by doing  and some times you have to piss on the electric fence.

actually, it is much easier than you think. Get the art you want to print and send it to Dan. He'll separate it and give you the print order, colors and mesh count. Burn screens and go at it. I'll bet you $100 that if you do what he says (99%) you'll have good prints after few hours of playing with it. Imagine all the extra jobs you could take if you could

Pierre's right mooseman, you just gotta believe. If you can print one color, you can do the rest, and you already do anyway, just not with that kind of art. It's pretty cool to see it come together for the first time on your press...
