1 color discharge white on black

[Dottonedan]

Looks great for 1 color. That white is like WHITE.   The halftones were slightly large IMO. Prob. near 40lpi  (I always prefer small dots in all cases). Thats just me. I think the customer is semi new to discharge and still not ready to go to smaller dots on it yet. Looks good tho.


The halftone % in the Kracken is 12% white and then 100% white.   The border of the logo is 30% white.

Big Dan!

I like it too.. I guess the 45lpi simulates texture of the monster.. Higher will probably look more like shading.

nice Dan but did not he print it a little high? lol
I hate trying to print over collars

Actually, this is a test print and setting a tad low I think. It's to have that top arm running off the color. I could be wrOng.

If it actually runs off of the collar, it could open up a whole new problem of a white spot of discharge showing on the back!

btw, I think that the larger dots help give it the look of an old illustration.

  When on press, it sits on the palette with the neck has a decent amount of bare pallet between the front of the shirt and the back. So the tentacle overprint never hits the inside of the back of the shirt.

Good point. Prob. so.

I'm thinking more of a deposit, or blob of ink collecting on the inside of the collar that will transfer when the shirt is removed and placed on the dryer belt.
If nothing else, I assume the boards must be wiped there at the top between shirts

Well, I'll be. 

A 7 armed octopus, lol.

Oddly enough, we've been doing some old maritime images for a customer lately with 20 lpi screen... art's funny that way, ain't it?
