Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison

Quote from: TCT on October 07, 2014, 09:24:11 AMDon't think I've really posted here, mainly because we don't do that much sim process work. Well we got one, even had 2 separators turn us down on doing the seps. Needless to say that really freaked me out, after all was said and done 9 colors is what we have below. Critiques and comments are welcome and appreciated. Personally I think I'm going to try to bump up the underbase on the shield part of it and pull back on the final black.for anybody reading, most of that art was done with 4/1000th of an inch lines. I understand why separators would turn it down! Who did you get to separate it and did you manage to keep the small lines or was the art changed? That would be technically most difficult print I have ever seen (yes, counting in all the crazy SGIA winning stuff).pierre

Keep in mind, the size of the art also. Bigger is better. Many people print images at 40-45lpi on large prints cuz you can easily and the print still looks great. Take the same 14-16" wide print and print it at 8" across and at 55lpi and the visual quality (and the smooth gradation windows) are reduced. You almost have to treat a smaller print differently than a very large print. I like to ask my sep customers to take my sim process left chest prints up to 65lpi if I can and I adjust the seps accordingly.
I didn't end up changing anything, same file I sent you. Dan handled it. The customer is super happy with it as-is and gave the green light, but I feel we can do a bit better. Nothing like being thrown into the deep end and forced to learn how to swim!Here is a new pic from a better phone, criticism still welcomed!

Not to mention probably the most brutal hip-hop album cover of all time. Meanwhile, I was just about to post a two color halftone print we did the other day. After the last few posts, I think I'll just go back to being a spectator.
Do you have any closeups of that skull one?
Here is a larger fragment
Fantastic detail~Correct math here?:120.34cm X 2.54" = 305 meshApprox. needed mesh to hold 90dpi/lpi =90 X say 4.0 = 360 mesh90 X say 4.5 = 405 meshHow such clean images without moire or dots being blocked?Thanks,
