get a couple next time you are ordering. G2000 will print significantly better than G5000, might as well put your best foot forward.

also having everybody on the same garment will make the readings uniform. Densitometer is not real happy reading off the shirts.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Well hell what was wrong with my idea!! it was MY POST DAMMIT! ;D 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

Or that... :( sorry brother. I was thinking we were getting there after tweaking our best one color halftone work, then all 4 colors would have their best representations...

you do the best you can with the tools available to you. I will print with 330S.
the coverage has to be solid and I know we can deposit enough with 330S mesh to do that. 305 would not work and 230 will not hold the detail. 225S will probably do as good as 305 (at least for us).

So...  using the scientific method is out of the question then?

What is the deadline for getting the shirts in?

Are we supposed to be recording all parameters for comparison? Like stencil thickness, emulsion used, mesh, tension, exposure used...etc?

I think for now, print it using whatever method you feel is best.  Pierre will look at the results and give you feedback, then we can all discuss what might be the problem variables and how to fix them.

So, having everyone put their best foot forward to follow a few parameters, then submit results for readings and conversation on ways to improve our efforts is not good enough for you? Why not just sit this one out?
