what the hell is going on in here?
- someone asking if a screen printer can do screen printsmonospaced

Whenever I needed large screen prints I would go to the local art school's screen printing department with my artwork (on laser-printed transparencies), my substrate and $50 and have a student do it for me. Worked every time.

- i think if it is screen printed as they say it would be done through a photo emulsionDodecahedron

i see what he's saying.
it looks very detailed with a lot of varying shades.
perhaps i haven't been exposed to the wonders of screenprinting to enough about its capabilities?- there is a thing called "halftone screen" or just "halftone"pango
- pauli0
Exactly, reinitialize. People don't like to think.

I can't tell because I can't see the detail, but you don't think that is just a grayscale image converted to a halftone and then exposed onto the screen and inked with one color? It's pretty good detail they are getting off that screen print if it is.

You can screen print quite a bit of detail with a halftone depending on the line screen. There are some caveats due to the substrate having an uneven surface (thus the banding on the images). Contact a silkscreen printer and ask them for advice, but it's completely doable.

i've had plenty of photos screen printed- onto everything from coroplast to one guy that wanted his plane wings screened (as the weight of vinyl was not good) - as said above by using photo emulsion. it's not that difficult.

This is easy to do with screen printing... yes including the shades and detail.
Also look up the fancy term for it "seriograph". This is usually used when reproducing art with a high level of detail, colors etc.

er ... Gavin Martin are printers, why not ring them up and ask them?
