You guys are too kind, especially you Pierre.

Here's one we were printing today....I thought it was worth of posting since the print looks like it's really coming off the shirt. Very 3 dimensional so it looks pretty cool. Actual shirt in person looks much better then this photo shows. My camera has a weird mind of it's own...


This was White base, Grey, Yellow, orange, and red.....

And just like that my fish is poo! :-p

Why didn't you just let the yellow and red make the orange?  Just trying to learn.

Hey now that fish you got there is nicer looking then this one I just posted! LOL

Printing just the red instead of orange will work but I feel like we have more control on press when we have the additional color instead of using the tones of red. I'm confident we would be able to get the print to look near the same but in my experience doing flames we have always achieved a better print using an orange in there. It just allows us to finely tweak the colors to get them to look the way we want... No real secrets or tricks, just what works for us.

Very nice print!

Here's another one that we just printed... Went on multiple color shirts but did the strike off on white..... this one was 7 colors total.... All colors printed on 272 roller mesh @ 40n with the base on a 225s mesh.

The flames are killer.  Yes, best case is to be able to use red, Orange and Yellow + some highlights of white...if you've got that room and customer budget.


Danny's often got both customer budget and number of available heads for that but most medium to small shops don't so they are more accustom to keeping the colors down and blending Red and Yellow.


When I worked at my last screen print shop, I used to post about things that I knew about (from a shop that would buy whatever I needed) as long as I could justify it. We had all of the bells and whistles and a 16 color, 22 station press + 3 others. We had Wet film imagesetters, hygrometers, 3 levels/options of temperature gadgets, Densitometers, emulsion gauges, etc. So when discussing my experiences, many people didn't relate to a portion of what I as saying. Some got bothered by my conversations with me not realizing many or most shops don't have these luxuries.  So having enough budget and room on press is a luxury that most don't always have either.


I do miss those toys.

Some stuff:

[mk162]

your flag is incorrect on the Vintage shirt.  The blue field should always be in the upper left corner.  Sorry, that is probably one of my top 10 pet peeves.  I don't know why.  It's correct on the one 2 below it.

Nice prints though.

Unfortunately it was how they wanted it, specifically asked for it that way, it was modeled after a vintage poster done that exact way. I made him aware of it, he declined to allow it to be changed.  <shrug>

Love love love that Gad pump art.  The cars are good too, but that is awesome.
