I was so excited to work on this print when i got the art work. This was my favorite poster art for the movie (it's not the one usually seen). When i started working on the design i noticed it was high resolution and large but this was an oil painting, so there's not much detail, very splotchy brush strokes.
This print is a 10 color index including an underbase, printed wet on wet (flash curing the underbase) from darkest to lightest color with the black printed last.
i added black ink even tho it was printed on a black shirt. I find that with designs like this, the black adds more depth and helps give more tones and detail to the print. |
Here's a close up of the print, one picture taken without a flash and the other with.
You can see the detail in the darkened areas better in the pic using the flash.
The image resolution for the index sep on this was done at 180ppi. we used all 280 yellow mesh and a 200 for the underbase. Halftone dot pattern for the underbase is 55lpi at 21 degrees.
