The ole before and after trick

[tonypep]

So simple they even let me do this on my trusty little Gauntlet Two screens too simple

Thanks Rick. This was a 200 piece order that set up and ran so fast it was set up, run, and tore down in 20 min. By an old man BTW! We are realizing meaningful extra margin here. Less ink (which is much less expensive anyway) no flash one less film/screen/setup. To boot the blends are rocking our Christian theme biz so we keep getting requests for more. And we use them a lot when designing our own.
And the press ops are loving it.
Happy Friday everyone

That's the beauty of using discharge, hope I get to use more this year, jobs print so fast you don't get sick of looking at the print.

Darryl....  Nice Job by the way

Quick question Tony.  When you print something like this, do you print the full image in yellow then print the other color with halftone fade over top, or do you have two halftone screens meet in the middle to blend?

What line screen did you use?  The blend looks great.

One of our artists, Laurel, is a real pro at this. We played around with different techniques till we finally nailed it. While you can do the yellow as 100% and the orange halftoned on top we found that inverting the halftones lends itself to discharge much better and creates the seamless continuous tone effect

Another one. We do these almost daily they've become so popular. 4 screens no base.

These are really nice!

Thanks Rob (sorry Sericol!) A rare example of when a combination of art and print technique comes together and is having a palpable effect on sales. In just three years our faith based division has grown from 75K to 850K annually. The sales team tells me that this has a lot to do with it.
And did I mantion how easy it is?

Man these are really slick. Really slick

Todays blend. Different twist on an old logo.

I will have one to post next week.  Good or bad!  Pastel red fade into pastel yellow with an orange hue in the middle.  Artwork doesn't have bright colors so I'm trying to match the proof, muted pastels on black!

New Irish fade for the Brick, which was normally either black or white plastisol. Already reordered the Neon fade. This a test run of 72 for St Pats. Posted this mainly due to the difference in the uncured vs cure shirt. Notice how harsh it is befor curing vs the smooth blend after cure. 3 colors discharge no base

I would love to know how to invert the halftones. How is that exactly done in photoshop.Playing around with it already the whole morning and I`m not any closer to the solution.

Nice prints, Tony. And you have a good artist as well!
