Re-did my neighbors logo.  Overall pretty happy.  First DC underbase.


Awesome!  Would love to have time and a place to play with what you can do with discharge.

Dan, get some art and come down one day, we will do what ever you want.  Be good for both of us.  You know I have all the stuff!

Id love to do that. I will plan on it and build some art to experiment. I already started a good tough test but dang if it takes a genuous to complete it apparently. Then, apply results to some art. I'm looking at about another 1-4 months to pass by before i can come down. Schedule is always tight and I'd have to take a day off (no can do) or maybe leave it for a Friday after I've filled my 40ish hrs from Monday to Thurs.  I'm taking you up on that tho.

7 color, DC UB + 6 plastisol colors WOW.  One flash after UB.  55lpi, shot on the Starlight.  Not our finest sim pro ever but man, we were stoked that this setup very quickly, ran WOW in perfect consistency and nailed the feel of this trickier digital art.  Can't ask for much more than that.  Print looks about 10x better in life, I need to ask ebscreen for his shirt photo secret recipe so we can actually build a portfolio.

man everyone has been killing it! We have been doing so many sim process jobs lately. All this week we have 1 to 2 a day. Here is one we just did now. Sepps done by a really cool guy in PA. 65LPI, 8 color, DCUB, plastisol highlights, all WOW. Hopefully by the end of this week, next prints will be DCUB, WB highlights.

Now that our seps are better than ever, and we have a really good understanding of exposure and emulsion with our I-Image, and Saati PHU2, next we are working on getting our blends a little better!

Awesome job on the print, but I can't get past what is happening with this design!  What the heck is this shirt for?

i had never heard of this guy until we got approached about doing the prints. apparently he is a 70s african jazz artist that recruited his family to play with him.

I bought an Autotran pad printer for tagging. I love it for that by the way. I did buy a special ink and hardener for my little side project. I did a couple of pint glasses too. I am going to run a few in several ink colors. This way when I am serving my brew at home everyone can have a different colored logo and not get them confused.
