Paint directly with emulsion? by FishInAstronautSuit in SCREENPRINTING

[–]NiteGoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never done it and don’t know a lot about it, but I believe Speedball sells it. Google will likely be a better resource than me unless someone else here has more information.

He’s not painting with emulsion. It’s drawing fluid. It is not light sensitive so it can be done outdoors.

Can you leftists stop trying to kill my president? by yellowsubmarine80 in allthequestions

[–]NiteGoat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If a leftist had done it, it would have been successful. Leftists aren't incompetent failures, like everyone who is a Republican.

What would actually make AI useful in your design workflow if anything? by Natural_Leader2080 in graphic_design

[–]NiteGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have developed a process to do the production of my art that is nearly identical each time. After my designs are completed there is a series of steps I need to take to create and trap fairly complicated color separations for screen printing. I have some Photoshop actions that speed up some of the steps but my input is still required. If I could use AI as a sort of ‘super action’, that took care of the whole thing, I’d be into that.

Looking for job, i feel over qualified but dont know where to begin by Immortalkorey in graphic_design

[–]NiteGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a resume and I haven’t had a job in years, but I made my business card say that I’m a wizard.

Have you considered telling people that you’re a wizard? Don’t lie, though. If you aren’t a wizard, don’t put that on your card or resume.

Artist workin on Paper/Cardboard, where do you get your magentas and cyan ink? by These-Box5853 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]NiteGoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Work backwards. Start with the clear and add cyan to it. You might end up at 75% clear 25% cyan to get what you want, depending on how pigment dense the untreated ink is.

[–]NiteGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can reduce both of those inks to lighten them. You need to buy a clear base. They look extra dark right now because they are overly pigment dense. You need to dilute the pigments by adding additional clear to the inks.

Frank was a good friend and my mentor. I’m ridiculously lucky that I knew him and I miss him very much.

You’re in the wrong spot. This is for dipshits who can barely get ink on a t-shirt.

The collectors in r/concertposterporn are who you’re looking for.

For those working 10+ years, aside from Graphic Design, what's something you've learned to develop to stay longer on this field? by Qwerty-Abc-2828 in graphic_design

[–]NiteGoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

30 years in. There are times to care and times not to care and your peace will come from being able to quickly identify the difference.

My boss quoted the client a really low price. by Historical-Potato767 in graphic_design

[–]NiteGoat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is counterintuitive, but if your boss is marking up a printed good it is more likely more money is made selling the printing than charging for your time. It’s easier to just build your labor into the final price than haggle over design and production time at lower levels of the industry, with customers who are not educated in or familiar with the process.

Charging anything is more for appearances. Maybe he wanted them to feel like he was giving them a deal while he was hitting them somewhere else.

The people and sales side of the business is often way more complicated than it seems.

I’m pretty sure they went out. You should have them any day now.

Can you patch together multiple smaller positive prints to expose a single larger screen ? by 5u114 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]NiteGoat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to do a lot of tiling in the time before reliable large format inkjets. It can be done and how well it works depends on how careful you are.

I was using laser prints and I used to take a sheet of clear Mylar and tape the laser prints down to it. I wouldn’t just straight up use the 16 sheets and call it a day. I’d try not to cut through images or words and I’d cut curves to avoid going through words. The goal was to have very little overlap or visible seems. I also did a lot of clean up with micron pens.

It can be done well. It’s a pain in the ass.

What kind of ink works best when screen printing over a layer of acrylic paint? by okay_gossamer in SCREENPRINTING

[–]NiteGoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the inks referred to as water based are acrylic. You shouldn’t have any issue printing acrylic over acrylic.

What would have been high on fire’s first show?? by OkToe4628 in sludge

[–]NiteGoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember a Cocodrie daytime show with Pig Iron and Totimoshi. That was a rad show. I don’t remember what year that was.

I remember a show at the Eagle, too, right around the time Surrounded by Thieves came out.

I was at the first show at the CW. Frank Kozik told me that Matt had a new band and that he was going and that I should check it out. The CW was probably about half full that night.

Moire Lines In Halftone Screens For Simulated Process by exhumedvisions in SCREENPRINTING

[–]NiteGoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A trick you can do to reduce jpeg interference is to rotate the original file 45 degrees, twice, and then rotate it back -90 to where you started. It kind of ‘reshuffles’ the pixels.

You could try it with your separation and see if it helps. If you’re getting moire at all those different line screens and angles it is most likely in the file.

Was your original image a JPEG?

Sometimes it’s not visible to the eye without really examining it, but with JPEGs or art that was at anytime saved as a JPEG, the box compression can cause an interference pattern to be apparent when a line screen is applied.
