greens are lime green in 4CP
« on: April 15, 2016, 01:48:01 PM »
My darker greens seem to be more lime green in my print, could it be that the Cyan needs to be a little darker? Thanks

bump up your cyan in those areas, and maybe knock back the yellow a bit.  what inks are you using?  What mesh count?  On a base or on a white shirt?

Your intuition is correct, mimo has it...

Correct. Many use the bandaid of say basing back the process yellow but that will cause problem as most won't remember what is based back and what is 100% causing trouble for future jobs

you are probably missing black ink. PMS 342 is 100%C, 66%Y and 41% black. Without the black it is kind of limey!

Sorry for not getting back sooner to those who replied. It was a tad bit too much yellow and I bumped the  cyan up and it worked out. It was a painting so it was really forgiving on line up and the colors came out really nice. Bottom line is the customer loved it. Thanks
