How many colors?

[sqslabs]

It seems as soon as I got the capability, the multicolor jobs started showing up.  How would you guys print the attached logo?  Its a ton of spot colors, but I'm thinking some of them can be achieved using gradients, and would like to use as few as possible as it will only be a 100-200 shirt run. 

Thanks.

Yeah its on white, forgot to mention that.  I've been shying away from 4cp for a long time, looks like its time to get my feet wet.

Looks like you could do it with 5 colors without any difficulty.

yellow, Magenta, Cyan, (dark blue replaces black) and purple type.

I figure the only area of black would be making up that dark blue so why use black halftones ( when there is no other black in art) when you can use a solid spot of blue and assure its more accurate.

Then, don't try to process that purple type. Use a spot color. It's more consistent and easier to achieve color accuracy.  Large masses of consistent cmyk often reveal any imperfections in the halftones or screens.

5 colors.

Awesome, thanks everyone.   

And Dan, I'll be contacting you for the seps if the order goes through.

I'd suggest you just let Dan Campbell sep that for you. He never beats his own drum so I will.

1) it'll just WORK, period. And he'll give you some how to's
2) you can start learning how

5 colors, for a hundred pc count or two oughta work.

My 2 cents.

Edit:  My advice seems unnecessary. You beat me to it by 2 minutes!

Thanks for the props!

I"d be happy to do it. A less difficult job like this, I charge by the job. $40.00 at 4 or 5 colors, no difference.
My normal sep charge per color for the average and difficult process and sim process runs 15.00 per color.

Thanks

Perfect candidate for 4CP. Primary and secondary colors. And yes drop the black for the purp if you like. Union tru-tone for me. They SWOP approved
