My guys do not know what PMS is unless they are at home.

I do a good bit of sim process. I do do (pun intended) most of my own seps.

And if you have looked at any of my samples it works for my market.
www.myTguys.com

I can print most jobs with
stock ink.
white 1 reg 1 poly. Even on a poly shirt I use reg inks on top of the poly ink.
traffic and kelly green
2 different reds brite and flag
4 blues That I mix, powder blue, 1 that I take up and down just under royal, royal and navy.
3 browns
aqua
lemon yellow
ath gold
orange
a couple grays that I mix
and 2 different blacks.

I'm sure I left something out, But all the rest of the colors are made in the sep.

It looks to be that we are going the route of various press types and colors.

I think the next step is for me to be able to send out one image that is then gread to your specific press.  I would love to show results on a 6 color auto and a 6 color manual.

I will do a 6 color and a 10 color Sep. I think it's not so extreme to see a 7 color next to a 6 color.
I provide the seps and then you use whatever inks you normally use in your shop.

 Required consistentcy;
 mesh size, halftone count, screen angle, dot shape, Garment color, garment brand,# of colors being either 6 or 10

Once I announce the art being ready, I will get confirmation as to who is committed to sending printed results and I will send out seps.

You MUST send in a printed sample.

Thanks

I've been out of town for a while and just now saw this thread.  I'd be very interested in doing something like this. I'm assuming it's going to be on darks?  I'll go back and re-read the first couple posts to see if I missed that so don't answer me if it's been talked about.
