whats an 'index print'?

BDx13 - 6-14-2009 at 12:20 AM

yeah, you gotta keep this up.
the updates, that is.

index printing is using small square dots to create the illusion of other colors and shading instead of traditional half tones round dots...

half tones have to follow a specific pattern where as in index you basically have organized chaos...




most printers wont even try index where as I love it
I think you can do a lot more with it and get more realistic looking prints

prepping and cleaning a screen must be a bitch with all those little dots!

nope
we burn 2 screens in 27 seconds

entire process of set up and cleaning is less than 5 minutues per screen

good art plus good film, correct emulsion for your light source and the process is just a walk in the park

it took me 4 years of trials to get everything to a point of damn near perfection

I really think I am the only person operating a shop from 2000 miles away, with no real worries
