It's fine as long as you adjust your curves for 950% dot gain...

Yup.  That's my comment.  LOL.  May as well have no reg marks. Just use the art.

I see a lot of critiquing, but a lack of people here posting their 4 color process work.  Probably 80% of this forum would be like "just DTF that", which feels terrible on a shirt.

I think his prints look good, and his inks look like normal plastisol process inks to me, lower viscosity so they blend.

He got good grays which I think is difficult with 4 color process, brown looks goods good, and he's showing his work.  Comments on youtube are positive (which is hard to achieve).  I personally would have tried printing MYCK since I think the beak is too dark but I haven't seen the original art so could be dead on.

Let's see the people poking fun post


* Source Art
* Photos of 4 Color Process Prints
* Photos of Ink in Screen
* Newton Meter on Screens
* Registering 4 Color Process with No Registration Marks
* Your Ergonomic Squeegees
* Your RIP Curves for Dot Gain
Show N Tell times boys, let's see what you got.  Bet you won't.

You first. I mean, since you did the challenge.

But what we do know is that (what we see), in the results stand a far greater chance of not looking good compared to the original intent. It’s got many example of how not to print CMYK.
Does it look good?   Yea, most prints do if you don’t look at the original.

For me, I can show my original and my print with all of the details you mentioned. But you first. ;)
