Great looking print my guess would be white, grey, black and red what LPI did you print with. Excellent art by the way are you the artist also or was that supplied?

Serj... what kind of mesh counts are you using to support the 90lpi... asking because we've been doing some shockingly nice 85pi work on 225S screens knowing that we'll lose the lowest and highest percentages and compensating in the screen prep.

Oh come now, you know we can't do 85-90 Lpi in a tee shirt.

Actually that high of LPI could be printed a number of ways. Based on what I have come to understand so far it is very doable  ;).  So it does not surprise me at all.

he was being tongue in cheek (facetious / joking around).

you said you don't work on the art... do you do the screens tho?  Just wondering what your/the artist's process is when creating the separations.. do you just assume that the say 10% and below is going to get knocked out, and then handle that with a different ink color?

I make myself screens and my artist knows that I can expose 2%.

Is 120 cm mesh like our 305 mesh?  Whatever it is, that's pretty impressive.  It must've taken quite some time to dial in.
It's not a job if you love doing it.
