Very cool, thanks for sharing!!

Looks decent ;)


But to answer your question, not really. You shouldn’t have a problem printing whites if you can do black I think.

If you want to print that as it looks it would be CMYK 4 color process on 305 or 355 mesh.

THANK YOU. I READ ALL OF IT AND I BASICALLY KNOW THE PROCESS. MAYBE I DIDN'T SPECIFY ENOUgH. I KNOW I HAVE TO CONVERT N-E PHOTO TO A HALFTONE IN ORDER TO PRINT ON A T-SHIRT(SCREEN PRINTIN'). WHEN I'M IN PHOTOSHOP CHOOSIN' THE HALFTONES FROM THE "BITMAP" MENU FORM "IMAgE", THE SECOND POP UP WINDOW gIVES A SLECTION OF "FREQUENCY AND I KNOW THAT IS CONTINgENT UPON THE MESH COUNT. HOW DO I CALCULATE THAT NUMBER? CAN YOU DIRECT ME TO A LINK OR RESOURCE? THANK YOU.

I do not have a formula for that. But for CMYK we would be at about 55 to 65 LPI or higher on 305 or 355 mesh. I doubt I would go higher than 70 LPI on a tee shirt though. Some do.

THANK YOU. SO WHAT IS THE LPI FOR 156 AND 230? AND YOU MENTIONED THAT SOME HAVE WENT ABOVE 70 LPI. DO YOU KNOW AROUND WHAT NUMBER AND HOW DID THEIR WORK COME OUT?

You wouldn't do a job like this on 156 or 230. It would be run CMYK all the way.

I'm not referring to any specific people or print jobs but I know some people print higher LPI's than I would ever do on a tee shirt.

EVEN IF I HALFTONE IT TO BE LESS DETAILED?
