Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Do some cleanup first, as that image is rife with jpeg artifacts.Anyhow, this is what you're after.Gray undercoats the whiteLight Gray, *flash*, white, done.ed:looks like I still can't type in a hurry..what the heck is a bugshug ( filename )?There is rarely a need to underbase a gray, unless of course you're on a red or funky polyester garment.On black, it's a non-issue.
one color, one screen, pfp and run it through the drier, but doesnt it really depend on what the customer whats and their budget?
This one was 8 colors. The cool thing is that the customer needed to get a sample off real quick but didn't have time for the seps so, he shot them off to me. Once he got them back, he printed film, burned screens and had a sample within 30 minutes. No tweaking on press or computer. Straight out of the screen room to the dryer. 15000 shirts. The sample was approved.
"Been running this naked juice today running like a dream.Nice comfortable 55 doz an hr right now on it....I've run over 4000 only wiped two of the screens twice.".

Not a bod job for 1 color. You achieved the look of a gray and a bright white in one color. That is what you want. My standard turn time is getting seps back within 3 business days. That is for 1 color or 14 colors. So, on occasions, you can get your 1-2 color job back within a few hours depending on the load on my schedule at the time but I like to allow for 3 days typically.The cost for that probably would be in the area of $15.00 for 1 color and $20.00 for 2 colors (for that). I don't charge by the number of colors. I go by job complexity. Some 6 color jobs take 45 min. and other 6 color jobs take 3-4 hours.Pierre gave me one the other day that was 3 colors but took about 3 hours. It had a bunch o layers and it was sort of a high profile job for a very picky customer so we were careful in trying to get it right.You can use a sep program and you get what you get and then rely on your own skills to make adjustments. If you don't have time to enhance those seps, then they don't really benefit you unless you can pay an employee to tweak them for a while. If you already know how to separate like a pro, you can improve the results you get from those programs and make those seps come out well enough. Then again, if you can sep like a professional separator, you would not need those programs any longer. Interestingly enough, roughly 80% of my customers do have some sort of separation program or even more than one. I guess I get sent the ones they don't have time for or the more difficult ones that are high profile and need to be as good as they can be.This one was 8 colors.
