Thanks. The feedback really means a lot :-)

I think I was pretty lucky with the design, its very forgiving and the finest details didn´t matter for the overall look.

Here a comparison of the detail or the lack of (lower corner):

 

I printed the transparent in 600dpi because 1200dpi looked impossible small for my old Epson inkjet. But I want to get deeper into lpi/dpi/halftones. (especially because I don´t have to clean/reclaim the computer after I finished :-)

For the next steps on my learning experience i choose to try printing on Polyester or Nylon (like running shirts), I need/want to build a water filtration for the reclaiming and better match the screen color to the print color. (plus so much more :-)

Did last week a bit of Discharge (was a mixed bag because most likely i didnt steer the ink+activator enough)




@tonypep
when you use an extra spot color with cmyk process, you mean a regular plastisol ink? Or are there more process colors then CMYK?

Right now the weather is freezing in Hamburg, but of course you can always come by. (I just remind you, my "shop" is actually my cellar ;-)

I'm so sorry.............but my OCD forced me to reply.

Is there a reason, perhaps language differences.....that the "N" in Death Chant is Backwards?  By Design?

The CMYK results for a first time looks great.  I could only hope my first try came out that good.
