Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
no need to print many colors, one will suffice!everybody prints the attached file on a gildan ultra cotton and I can tell you the results (measure with densitometer so no bias).how about that?pierre
The first few prints will be light Homer, they darken up a bit then settle down. Like Pierre and others, we run 12 - 20 before we show a print to anyone. So yes, I would run a number of them to get to the one for the testing. You can see it happen pretty much, it gets a little darker, then stays there and doesn't get any darker...Steve
ok, color me 3 shades of stupid but. P, on this print test, what are the steps? are we talking burn it on a 230, print a dozen or so test prints THEN do a strike off and test that or do you test the very first print made with the screen? I don't quit understand all this fancy testing stuff yet...

I don't quit understand all this fancy testing stuff yet...tho goal is to make it as bright as possible (on the one solid square) and keep the halftones correct (the size has to be the same as the film. If you put it on top of the print, film should cover the dots. If anything is peaking, you are gaining). The pisser is going to be keeping it bright and keeping correct size. I don't think we could do that with one screen, so therein lies the challenge. I would venture to guess many a bold head develops as a consequence of trying to make it work (for anybody really putting in the effort). And it could be a most educational/eye opening print of the last year or two for majority here. Maybe we should start with a black ink on a white shirt, that would be easier. . .pierrep.s. we hold the 3% and our 50% read 52% last time I tried this with black ink on white shirt (Richard dared me so I had to prove it to him).
