Lawrence was in a motorcycle accident and the customer wanted to print shirts for support, The customer is a Tattoo artist /Screenprinter I help with art and seps with , he proficient at designs but is usually busy and not as good doing seps. He wanted to do a solid white for the face, I convinced him that halftones were going to work. The art he sent was a color picture, made to be black and white, and he didnt have the original color pic, Always get the original file color pics have values you can manipulated into grayscale in Photoshop. It would have only taken minutes to have adjusted the pic to something suitable for textile printing, it took longer but I was able to get some good results.
There are 2 seps for the back Black and white, I reduced the white in the medium areas by 25% to 35% to allow fow ink gain and double stroke printing since this was going to be printed on the manual. I told him to reduce down the black Plastisol ink to an almost soupy state, this with a reduction in the halftone image helps the white, and red tshirt color helps to and color to his face. I like how this turned out, it doesn't look like the flat black and white art I got.
