How to do this?

Actually with discharge one screen can do it

So says an expert at discharge.   One who is inexperienced at both separating (or more so adjusting for) and printing a 1 color discharge print...can FUBAR a 1 color discharge as easily as a 3 color grayscale halftone print.


For the every day average joe printer guy, (two) is better in most all cases. So says me who does seps for a wide variety of skill levels for a wide variety of printing methods.


I've seen the results of some people trying a 1 color photo in discharge that is already inexperienced at printing halftones in the first place. It can be a long trial and error process.

Points well taken. With plas I would normally use 2sceens BTW

Thanks peeps! It's a pleasure reading all your views and points.
And sadly I have not worked with discharge yet. But I'll get there eventually. Hehehe.
With regards to the screens, I think I'll work on the 2 screens. It seems feasible and I wouldn't want to scrimp on quality.. It's the satisfaction after a quality print that matters, well at least for me theoretically. Hahahaha.

Would this work 156 mesh/230 mesh?
or do I need to go higher?

IMO it looks like a good fit for a 230 mesh or even a murakami 150 mesh.

[Dottonedan]

I agree. Looks like a 230.  I like 230's for detail because they can provide enough detail as well as coverage. I don't have much exp. with a murakami 150 mesh.

Thanks mates! Will try the 230 then. Cheers!

The output.


Some fine details did not really turn out. But we got pretty close.
