Printing On The Dark Side: Four-Color O-r Simulated Process? - 0 views

  Printing a full color picture on a dark shirt is among the hardest jobs a screen printer faces. Standard four-color process uses clear inks: Cyan (sky blue), Magenta (hot pink), Yellow and Black) which print in several rates, mixing together to form a wide range of colors. While this method operates superbly on a white shirt, the outcomes can be frustrating on shirts, requiring a underbase and multiple passes of colors winding up with a heavy ink layer and dull color. While good four-color process can be done on a dark shirt, to do so requires a great deal of analysis, time, and tweaking throughout the print run. But there is yet another way to achieve similar results a lot more quickly.
  
  Simulated process uses opaque inks and in a lot more than just four colors, usually between six and ten (usually White, Red, Yellow, Green, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Gray, and Purple). Simulated process colors are often produced wet-on-wet, with few sensations (a drying process as the clothing is still on-the press). For example, to create a flesh tone simulated approach could make use of a blend of tan, opaque yellow and perhaps white. The dark history becomes a non-issue (o-r at least much less of 1), because the colors are opaque. And if personal, particular colors are essential (for example a shade of red for a small business logo) they may be mixed to specification and individually produced.
  
  So why would you want to use four-color process in any way? When done properly and precisely, it is probably the most appropriate version of full color reproduction. And for stores with smaller presses with less heads available, the numerous colors needed for simulated process may not be possible at all. Privacy contains further concerning the inner workings of this activity. Look Into Personalized Underwear contains more about the inner workings of it. Also for subtle, nuanced art with minor changes in tone, such as pastels, the vibrant, strong shades of simulated process don't work well.
  
  The outcome may be wonderful and are worth the effort and time involved regardless of which type of printing you employ, while display printing photographs on dark shirts might be difficult.
