I completely agree with learning from others methods. Most of us would still be *cutting ruby, using rub on letters and burning 110 mesh on wooden frames* if we didn't learn from the ways of others... :)




*not that there is anything wrong with that*

One great tip he had that I never seen before was the combining of duplicate layers to get rid of the artifacts!  I would always end up cleaning that up by hand ugh.

Homer:
very cool technique. I like channels so I can work in the color I am printing, I can make adjustments as I go, this way seems a bit harder to follow along with because everything is black, but still a good tut. I'd like to see one from Dan too, I have a hard time with fills in the 1-2% range, can never get rid of those suckers without erasing it.

thanks for posting!  I've been doing the "select similar" which i guess is the same thing essentially but the "gap" drives me nuts. i'll give this a try on tomorrows job maybe and see how it goes.

BTW here's a 4CP video from the same guy

I was wondering about the gaps myself and what a pain to have to always edit them. My thought is this if it is only 1 pixel gaps wouldnt press gain make  up for that typically? Also if you are printing a multi color on a base wouldnt that 1 pixel gap make a great reverse trap or gutter even to keep things sharp?

I dont know about others here but I detest trapping, I never trap anything, to me a trap looks worse than a slight case of shirt peeking through and most of the time press gain helps that out anyways.
