"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
I would give the mascot a 30% fill of the color used on the text and print it all at 45 dpi. I would also give text about a 4 pt. white outline to make it stand out a little more.
here is the design....going on grey sweater.Which would you recommend?I have the halftone set to 35%..I may go to 30%110 mesh with freq at 35, angle at 25or156 mesh with freq at 45, angle at 25
For more control and consistency,I would probably be (manually) printing that with two colors, especially on fleece.And what's with the white outline? Is that another color, or was it supposed to just be shirt color there?Also, have you got a handle on what to expect for dot gain? Between output and actual printing, 20% gain is not far-fetched.
