What have you printed lately?

Some more metal shirts! Good band but not as cool as the mighty OverKill a couple of posts above this. And cool print but not as cool as that Overkill either! But two screens front, discharge and plastisol white highlite. Back discharge. High mesh on auto, the usual. Cool shirt though

Really nice looking grayscale images and print.  Great print ...but you printers suck at taking pictures. LOL. Go get someone from the art department to hold that camera still for you.

I finally got a chance to try the newman roller frames today.  I tried to hol the camera still so if it looks a little blurry, you'll know why.

Nice big bass and deer Shirtshack. Good detail. Bright whites, good shadows,  Looks like you switched up the print order and put the yellow up on top of the red and may ahve come out browner if red was over...and black on top. Just a note.   A little yellow, but looks good overall.

Hey Dan, your right, I am horrible with photos. So here are two more pics of another cool metal shirt we did today. Clear discharge underbase, pantone green plastisol and highlite white plastisol. Wet on wet, no flash. Again if it was just all the same brand and same shirt we would just do discharge all the way but we had hoodies that were different and not 100% cotton so the plastisol on top helps with that issue. But pretty neat. Any one want to start a metal / rockn'roll thread?

Here is a 4 spot/4cp job we did this morning.  We did have to run this job around two revolutions, it simply wouldn't print well without cooldown stations but I did try for a while to get it to print in one revolution.  A 12 color press would have been fine for this job in one revolution, but not the old 10.  We printed the base and spot colors on the first revolution and then did the 4cp plus white on the second revolution.  The golden yellow was the trouble screen in the group, I couldn't print directly after flashing that one so I broke one of my rules to get this thing out the door.  It was only 50 pieces so it didn't take all that long to get done.

1st Revolution:
Base 205
Flash
Brown 230
Golden Yellow 195/55
Flash

Second Revolution
Yellow 305
Magenta 305
Cyan 305
Black 305
White 205

With St Pat's day this weekend we just ran a bunch of these shirts. We printed them all without the name on the top and the very bottom text line( I printed one for that client of mine and dropped his name on the top for fun and that was the only one I took a photo of)...... Artwork and seps by our freelancer J. Duncan. He did this art for one of his clients originally and we adapted. I was in a hurry to print these so we only printed 3 colors -


White - 272 mesh
Black - 305 mesh
Dark Green PMS 350 - 272 mesh.....


For only being 3 colors it came out really nice.

Very nice Alan, girl got some hips  ...golden yellow seems to be a tacky ink in just about any brand, I know our union golden yellow is a pain to print wet on wet if your doing a big spot of it.

Looks grrrreat!  wow tho.  While it's awesome, its a big job for 50 shirts. But hey, if they pay for it, it's a good job.

We were helping another printer and customer out by doing these.  It was a little more than what the other shop could do so we did them a solid.

DannyG,   LOVE IT!  the water drops....and especially the 4 leaf clover (water drop) is a very cool add on.  Nice touch.  Simple 3 color BOOM!

Looks great. Any ink with yellow seems to have horrific after flash tack.

Hi Dan,

I appreciate the honest criticism.  Any advice is appreciated.  I am definitely dropping sep studio and letting you do my seps on complicated jobs from now on.

Here's another one that we recently printed. I just happened to have a sample laying around but thought this was pretty neat art. This ended up being 8 colors including 2 whites. Base was printed on 225 s mesh, 230/48 for most of the colors with a couple on 305's. Just one stroke on all colors, no revolver mode on this.

Nice print. What LPI?
