CMYK or Sim-process.

I suck at cmyk but I would use two cmyk inks in this to print using sim process style seps -
Cyan blue (process color)
Yellow (process color)
Dark Blue
Red
Black
Highlight White
Process blue + process yellows will make all the greens, then use halftones for everything else. If you are printing on non white shirt then add the base and should be good to go. 6-7 screens total

We would be similar to Danny on this. Most of our work with art like this is somewhere between 4CP and spot/sim process. My ideal is to avoid allowing the interaction of any 2 screens to have a big impact on the overall print color accuracy as that can frustrate your production of the print but we are limited to 8 print colors on lights here so we deal with it more often than not. With more print heads available I would run this at a higher color count, just to make it more production friendly, consistent and repeatable. Nobody likes regging up and then going through 20+ testers only to have a color shift a couple dozen prints into the run.

I don't know if any of you have seen the hydra process print and tried their 4YOU 4 colors separation service, the color accuracy is great. The sample print I have seen, stunning, the comparison with a dtg print, increadible.

If you have enough heads to play with I would Index it. It would retain a lot of the canvas detail.

we would index it, lots of colors, but it would be better than cmyk. If space is an issue, then cmyk

Minimum 12 screen sim pro if you are going for the 90%+ accuracy range. CMYK will likely yield 65% to 75% at best. I've posted pics of painting replications previously and that's how we do it. You have brush strokes there as well

If on white, and the customer would pay, I'd go with the full 10 colors our press holds, sim process, or maybe indexed (Just did an index sep yesterday, it's been a while)
