1. It eats squeegees.2. There is less opacity in process inks3. They feel crisp on the shirt with any decent amount of coverage.4. I hate the way it turns to liquid in the screen.
If you can not all of this is a mot point.
Thanks Andy... I agree with you... I do have the option though he's dropped a lot of halftones from my art before in the past without my approval... it was mission critical but it makes me worry about this type of thing.
Are you suggesting that I just do a line art version of it? I'm not opposed to offering that to them... or maybe mixing it a little bit of halftones to add a "little" dimension to the print as well as getting my feet a "little" wet here.

Andy... I'm not so sure that he CAN'T print them as much as it is that something is lost in translation some how. He's done some really nice sim-process work including some nice grey scale stuff.I think I could do a decent job with the 5 color version... It's just not in their budget.Pierre... Well, didn't you just kind of say the same thing? You said "start off with really big dots and work your way to something smaller"... that's basically what I'm suggesting too. I get rid of trying to do 5 levels of half tones that could easily get screwed up if my print stroke isn't proper (and I'm fairly sure that it isn't). So dot gain will get all screwed up. If I keep it fairly simple then it won't be so bad. So I start off with just a little bit of "simple" half tone work in the image and work my way to more complicated stuff as time allows.Here is a sample (VERY crude) of what I could maybe offer them as an alternative.What do you think? Do we lose it all... should I stick to the original? I don't think they are tied to the grey scale... honestly they did that grey scale in WORD... they are not artist... they are struggling to get me art work is what they are. Very well intentioned guys that are just trying to do what they can with what limited resources they have available.

So what kind of coating (3:1, 2:1?) of emulsion should I do on these 200 mesh screens to get the right EOM for these half tone dots?
