Evo:
This design was originally done as posters. Gold/dark orange split fountain (horizontally), light blue, black.

When it came time to put it on a shirt, I looked at the split and said eff that noise. I dropped it into CorelDraw and did a fade from 100% to 0% downward on the gold, and the opposite fade up on the orange. 55lpi halftone, round dot. Came out very smooth and most importantly, easy and consistent.

Since these were going on Gildan sand color, I did the gold and orange w/ discharge to give them more pop. The light blue and black was regular wb.

There's some nice secondary green and brown highlights in there from overprint areas. (not the greatest pic...)

Nice Evo I think I remember that from another post. Another reason we used this technique was that halftone printing was a coveted secret (pre-computer). We'd use Lettraset halftones that came in a box and cut them by hand. So halftone color blending was clumsy at best for many.
BTW I'm not that old just started early

Oh BTW anyone know the Serigraph artist who exploited this technique to the nth degree?
Hint.......its not Warhol

Here's my last split fountain job. Not so artsy, but typical of my market

When I put my screen printing career on hold years ago, computer seps were still relatively new. When I started it was all about the rubylith, swivel knife and opaquer pens. (and Letraset typefaces and patterns...)
