Friday Fun

[tonypep]

Another before and after using........one screen. Anyone remember the name of the technique? No fair Andy you can't play.

[bimmridder]

We called them fountain prints

[Prosperi-Tees]

Brush stroke

[tonypep]

Fountain or split fountain

[Doug B]

  I have ONE customer that still uses it!   

[inkman996]

We do that for one customer as well, its fun but wastes some ink but they pay.

I did a job this would have worked great for, except it was turned sideways.  Hard to print a fountain when the colors run horizontal rather than vertical.

Looked almost as good as a fountain though.

[Sbrem]

we called them blends, but then I read about split fountain in my "Pocket Pal"... and for you younger guys, it's not what you think

They have a press or jig that lets you turn the platen sideways so you can print the shirt sideways.

Or, on a manual, you can pull the squeegee sideways (easier than pushing because you can steady the screen and station against yourself.)

The real question is, how many prints before it turns to brown mud?

[Frog]

That depends on how many colors you start with (the narrower the color bands, the quicker the mud), and only after a little practice can you estimate that in your pricing.

That gets mixed into your "custom black"

The real question is, how many prints before it turns to brown mud?

My first reaction to 'what do you call this method?'
was 'tempting mud'.
Heh.
Good call.

We've been doing a red, ylo, grn blend on black over a grey u/b for one of our custys. We've found that if you keep the middle color full it tends to lessen the the creep.

So is this just 3 colors in one screen and print/flash/print?
