T-Shirt Brief (Test Printing)

After spending a good portion of the summer doing various process test prints I have kind of found a very happy medium for photographic screen printing on a single screen. The halftone settings have been pushed right to the point where if you look closely you can see the image break up but from less then a meter it looks like a full image If its anymore the image is ruined if its any less the dots drop through the mesh. I have also set up a series of photoshop layers which gets the black balance just right for shadowing.

These test prints are key for later in the project to allow us to know exactly if we can or cannot screen print a photographic T-shirt and if we should consider heat press instead. 




Here you can clearly see the dots up close.
