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...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).

Y'all have too much time on your hands LOLI'd love to join in on the fun but damn I have some pieces of artwork that I've been wanting to print for months now that I cannot find the time to do let alone something like this LOL
Maybe we can use a favorite grayscale image, but add a 0% -100% bar on the side in 5% increments for the measurements... I talked to our head printer about this, he's psyched to give it a try. Now, to choose an image...Steve
Well hell what was wrong with my idea!! it was MY POST DAMMIT! yall just don't like me no more I see how it is really this fine, but I still like the idea of doing a 3 to 4 color print of the same art,maybe at a later date.darryl
