Photo of printed tee 7color sim on multiple grounds

Photo of printed tee. Sorry to say, I can not provide specific or unique print specs on this as I am under contract and it included providing specific information about how they do things.

I can say, this is not the final production print. I was not around for the production so this is just what someone saved me from the test pile.  The only thing I would have liked to do would be to some how fill in that top left yellow car more. I think I was using the shirt color too much to darken up that front end. It needed to sit on more ink. It was shadowed a little and I think I tried to fade it off to the shirt color + adding some other colors under it but not enough. It looks a tad airy or blotchy due to not enough under coverage. Me thinks. Other than that, I was pretty happy with it.

7 colors.

Nice!!

Very respectable Dan for a setup/test print. The roughness probably smoothened out a bit after a little tweaking and the run commenced. Simpro on Red can sometimes be more of a challenge compared to black garments.

Nice work.

Damn Dan, that is badass! I have always been a fan of your work. Like a stalker I have followed you for a few years. Sorry, not trying to be weird! I need to PM you later. Do you do any simprocess discharge seps by the way?

<snip> Do you do any simprocess discharge seps by the way?

I'd love to hear the answer to that question.  I've been told it is only for large runs and often takes several attempts to get right.

Not to steal Dan's well deserved thunder but it is possible and is graphic/garment specific. Simply removing the percentage tone underbase usually will not result in acceptable results for instance; as with this technique in plastisol relies on tonal variances of a given color as it falls on or off the UB in different degrees. Also the printer would need to mix and match the pantone discharge colors within a close tolerance to the ones called out. So that said I usually reserve this for projects that both deserve  and are willing to pay for that expertise. One day I'll ask my favorite separator to send me the files of the St John Jazz Fest print. Eight or nine color sim process. Different photographs used as letter fills in the type similar to the Springsteen Asbury Pk Album cover. There are probably more than two dozen colors visible to the human eye.

Hello,

Yes. I offer discharge seps as part of my services. This one, although not straight up discharge is a discharge underbase with Rutland M3 reg plastisol over top.

So.  You can provide Simulated Process Seps for Waterbased Discharge withOUT plastisol?!? No Plastisol at all?

I want to be clear in what I'm asking.

I've seen examples on the web, but I've been told to basically "cool your jets, grasshoppah". or "It's over you head." "Its a specialty and not for cowards."  Stuff like that.... (No doubt that's true right now.)
