My first ever poster project.(to H8R)
I BETTER be one of those 350!!!!My first ever poster project.
Limited to 350 prints.
255 mesh on black, 195 on white/grey.Fvcking nice print... now talk tech with me boy!
what mesh count screen?
which ink?
are you still using that halftone program to spit out dots on your postscript printer? and which one was it (I can't remember where you said you got it... but I went looking for it way back when...)
The original design, was it done in PS, or some in PS some hand drawn then scanned? what method did you use for the original artwork?
I knew you'd be along to pipe in some snobby comment. Where ya been?Is it too late to redesign?
I have used house paint for some of the flatstock I have done... and it works and is cheap! Be careful though because the stuff will dry in the screen pretty quick then you have to clean the screens befor resuming... ( for example... if you order a pizza... keep printing and have someone else answer the door... )255 mesh on black, 195 on white/grey.
Speedball acrylic, thinned a bit.
Design was done in PS then sent to me. I did the seps in GIMP. I used the GIMP filter "newsprint" after saving each layer to a .tif.
This filter is actually a very nice halftone emulator, you can choose line count, cell size, screen angle and dot type (square, diamond, etc).
So the raster image is pre-halftoned instead of the Postscript doing it on the output.
WAY better than the Wilflex PS filter I was using.
I was going to go with buying a Postscript RIP for my inkjet but the cost is ridiculous, like $700-$900. I can do almost everything in GIMP on Linux at home then print it out of my old Win XP machine that the printer is attached to. (this will be a Linux box soon)
Eventually GIMP is going to get full CMYK/spot printing support, for now the filter works great for my purposes. I don't plan to do any 4 color process work, just line art and spot colors for now.
I did a t-shirt once... it's a lot more annoying than print.

SHHHH.I just checked out GIMP's site... I will have to investigate further.
We will sell them with napkins for blotting.Will they dry by Friday?
SHHHH.
Stinky will hear you.
GIMP is weird, but it has a few nice things that PS doesn't have, like some kick ass stock filters, etc.
The price is right too.
Let's settle this for the last fvcking time.
http://www.gimp.org/GIMP? I shall look this up? My most recent projects have been a combination of silkscreen and cut-n-sew.
You should get photoshop, it's much better.GIMP? I shall look this up?

just seeing if H8R's head explodes...
If you're cool with halfassedness I have a copy of Illustrator Beta you can use for logo design.Let's settle this for the last fvcking time.
It's lucky that you're not as picky about your women.If you're cool with halfassedness I have a copy of Illustrator Beta you can use for logo design.
Lemme know.
I'm good thanks.If you're cool with halfassedness I have a copy of Illustrator Beta you can use for logo design.

I think you would be surprised at how useful some of these apps really are (if you could get over yourself for a moment)
Check the GIMP, then look at "newsprint".I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 for b/w half-tones. Came free with my compy when I got it ~3 years ago. No biggee.
