ROUND 1 TEST PRINT SLIDESHOW PRE-PRO TEST This is where everything turns out exactly like you planned! ... Not! While we're pretty good at knowing how a print will turn out, sometimes it's rockier than we could have expected. We tested on multiple Kastlfel shirt colors and fabric types to see what would look best. We tried different flock colors and ink colors to see what would work well together. There were things we loved and elements we knew needed adjusting. Three things we had to change from round one to round two: 1. The line thickness of the text outline was too distressed and thin to work well with the puff ink. So, we thickened it up and made the overall design bigger. ROUND 2 FINAL PRINT SLIDESHOW 2. T here was too much texture on the crackle ink for it to have a good cracked look. So, we made most of those areas solid to let the ink have more area to crack. 3. The tonal dark design in the back was too covered up, so we moved it to the upper corner of the design and offset it so it was viable and created more depth. We also picked a Pantone color to get the look we wanted. After we adjusted the artwork, Danny worked his magic with separations and did another round of prints. It turned out much better, even though the puff ink came out a little weird on this round. It almost gives a faux chain stitch look. AUGUST + SEPTEMBER 2020 | SCREENPRINTING 41
