More then meets the eye

here's an old print from almost two years ago (all the other pics so far were taken at the same time). It's a 9 color Index/Simulated process separation, printed wet on wet (flash cure after the underbase only).



This is the digital separation, originally meant to be printed on a charcoal shirts .
Licenser had us remove the upside down ghost text. Don't have a digital copy of the original test print that i'm showing
The original art was done with a de-saturated artistic effect and lots of transparencies with over lapping elements. looks a bit odd but it turned out pretty good. could have turned out allot better with some fine tuning on the press. The print shop that did these has come along way since then.

full front print 12.1"x17.5"

closer look





close up showing the halftone pattern, the index pattern is not noticeable. 




In this pic you can see there's a slight off registration, the underbase may have moved and is the most noticeable but it looks like several colors are off registration just slightly, allot of color and detail is lost because of that.
slightly too much ink deposit on the grays and light blue causing a muddy print as well.
