Nice vid
I never understood how 12 colors is better than a 4 color process in a production facility. Can someone explain to me what the advantage would be actually using 12 colors opposes to say 6? Seems like a ton of work.

quick answer: depth of color and ability to make a print run faster and look amazing on whites and darks. Yes its more work but the results is worth it.

Nice video. Did you see the flood bars and squeegees on the first press? Is that a double winged attachment or something?

I know I'll never reach his level of expertise, but I'll have a lot of fun trying.  Very inspirational video.
It's not a job if you love doing it.

I've spent some time with Andy and Sherry. They are very modest and unassuming about what they do.
The ink room is a bit of a mess but other than that it is a well run place as you can imagine.

Sweets to answer your question more control of the colors being printed, even thought process can make a ton of colors you tend to lose contorl of some, and process my not give you that exact color you might be looking for.

One reason that his stuff is so sharp is that he uses an old school Imagesettter

BINGO!  No comparison when doing extremely high end work.  Some don't see the difference. but it's in the fine details.


1 example is dot gain. The dots that come off of a digital printer has gain on it already. Most do not adjust for this before hand. For example, dots are fatter on a 65lpi halftone on a digital print. If you print a 65 lpi on a true imagesetter, many people would be surprised to see that they cannot hold lower than a 10% DOT AT 65LPI.  You could, but you would need to re-evaluate your mesh threads, emulsion, exposure times and coating process.

I tested several RIPs straight out of the box and they were in the 57-72% for a 50% dot.  We could originally hold a 4% dot and after calibrating the film output that same dot was about 7-8%! And this was on the film that gained the least.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

And as much as Andy does not like too much publicity, he RULES the simulated process in USA! I have seen some good prints from other companies and they just don't compare. . .

thanx for posting the link!

pierre, I would have to disagree. I think target graphics is running at the top these days.
