Here is one we ran today. True 4-color process. 7 colors, 355 mesh. Grey tones are from ink, not shirt color. Looks even better in person.

The print looks great. When you say true 4cp, 7 colors, does that mean 4cp + 3 spots?

impressive looking print!

to answer the color question, that would be 4CP, white underbase, highlight white and pinkpurple spot color! (With permission from Ava of course as that color is copyrighted)

We used UL, Y, M, C , K, Top White and the logos were on a separate black plate because they did a color change on different shirt colors.

Mine has a song (one of those Talking Tom iPad things) that sings about the 20's and the great depression, exhibition, stock exchange, etc.  I always joke "she can't read yet, but she sings at a 4th grade level.  She sings everyone of those songs... her song "vocabulary" is AMAZING!  She knows an amazing amount of songs, and not kid songs... Like real songs (usually from movies), like Some where over the rainbow and Close to You (Carpenters).  Over a year ago we brought her to Karaoke on a cruise ship and she sang Some Where Over the Rainbow.

Did you have any issues getting the white through the 355 with one stroke?  Did you add process base to the white or another base to get it through that mesh count or did you muscle it through?

Love it.  Very subtle detail.  For me, I might have preferred to add in a tad bit more darker black in the deepest shadow tones, but the original may have not called for that.

This was a pre-production sample Sam. Run size will be around 3500 pieces.

Couple more questions if you don't mind...

Squeegee angle?
Single strokes?
Print order?
How many flashes?


By the way your prints are sweet!!!

That opacity on the white text through a 355 is impressive.  And to get the underbase and top white to print with one stroke and get that opacity is unbelievably good.

This is like the third thread I've read tonight with examples of your work that are BLOWING MY MIND!

Seriously, give us more details (if willing).  What emulsion and coating method, what inks (specifically), equipment, etc.  I am seriously blown away by the detail and vibrancy.
