"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
"it is probably not OCD but just a desire to improve unlike the OCD which is mostly about repetition."Pierre,I heard some study once that many CEOs have some level of OCD. OCD is not a bad thing at a small level. We could call it a lot of things, drive, perfectionist, very dedicated. I only said that to put the picture in peoples head of how some award winners view their work. (not talking only about screen printers) "which is mostly about repetition"I would guess if you keep printing a shirt and making very fine edits for hours on end that would cover the repetition part of the OCD. Again OCD is a serious disease and I am not taking that lightly here. I am just saying a little OCD is found in a lot of people that excel in their field.Sorry for the derail.

As long as we're analyzing this, who is (or should be) the actual "winner"?The artist, the separator, the guy who made the screens (or the guy or cleaned them), the guy who set the job up on the press, the guy who actually loaded the shirts?In the end, though I suppose that it would be the owner, even if he was on vacation at the time.Of course, it's really the shop itself, with an extra nod to the production manager.

As an analogy, in photography the negative is the master, but the print is what you look at; in music, the score is the road map, but the performance is sh!t...Steve
Target Graphics works at 85 LPI I think, maybe higher. Too lazy to look up their webpage.
In one of my classes at long beach they talked about a printer that does all his stuff at some insane line screen. I think it was 100 or maybe even over that. I can't remember the name of the printer. It was not just for an award they do it for all of their SimPro work. As Killer said there are guys out there doing better than award work every day. They most likely don't even care for the awards. Do you have to pay to enter a shirt into some of these contests? I know in the logo design world they always had a entry fee.

I'm not sure it is even wise to try to rank them.Many do awarding winning work every week/month/year and few if any are ever entered in a contest.Some shops will do a job just for a contest.How bout just saying in your opinion these are the top 5 or 10?What do you think?
