DC Blends

[tonypep]

2 screens+no base=no dots+max impact w/minimum effort.

How do you get the gradations without dots? Or do you mean they don't show once printed and sent through the dryer?

The latter

My guess was good then. We're trying to incorporate more here, but most of the jobs we produce are on garments that don't discharge. Still, I have some ideas I'd like to push to some schools we've picked up, in which we show them prints on garments that do... thanks, Tony.

Tony (if you can answer this) what LPI and screen mesh did you use?

[tonypep]

Sorry not allowed. Truly sorry

Nice print Tony!  Almost reminds me of a split fountain.

I really need to start experimenting with this more...

when we do sim process DC, even at 55lpi, I can still see the dots... even when 2 colors are blending together.

Thanks thats the desired effect. We do these all the time. You can pretty much split fountain in any direction or multiple directions. Radials etc.

Not as dramatic as Tony's, but here's a crappy pic of a blend we did a while back. It's actually harder
for us to do a subtle blend then it is with two contrasting colors. Probably spent 2 hours remixing inks on this one.
Light orange is a 230 solid, dark orange is 280 55lpi. One stroke each, the white screen crushed 'em.
This particular shirt had been used as a rag before taking the picture. We're not so good at photographing jobs.
