So the designer says it was accomplished through Photo-Emulsion.
Im still skeptical.- because you obviously know more than the creators of it. perhaps they're liars!Dodecahedron

Definitely can be done with photo emulsion.

It's screenprinting, no doubt about it. They just converted the images in halftones. I did this a few times. You can accomplish that in photoshop but i prefer using Vectoraster.

Screenprinting these graphics on cardboard is no problem. HOWEVER, those images you posted are photoshopped interpretations of how the firm/designer wishes them to look. The final product would not look as crisp as the photography you posted.
- are you saying the pics are photoshoped not real printed pieces?Dodecahedron
- exactly. this is fairly common practice for portfolio imagesletterhead
- that would explain why they seem so crispDodecahedron
- What Im saying is: yes you can accomplish this but the photos you posted are photoshopped for some reason or another.letterhead
- yes, that would explain why they are so crispletterhead

Okay, here are the formal instructions.
Im gonna try it, and post my results.
If anyone wants to try it, here is how its done:"Yes this was more than likely screen printed. This type of print is actually really easy to do. This would be a one color print that has been broken into halftone dots. In order to screen print something like this you would need a RIP software to break that image up into Halftone dots. Then you would change your image into a grayscale image and print it through the Software. Then you would use a 230 mesh count print with a water-based ink."

screenprinting often has a edgy rattiness to it if the materials are not completely flat and clean and such....adds to authenticity, but may freak out some perfection-oriented clients...
