Ways to use CMYK Screenprint
CMYK Screenprint questions
- What is a halftone rosette?
- The flower-like pattern formed where four color screens printed at different angles overlap. Printers chose those angles specifically to avoid moiré, and the resulting rosette is the visual signature of process color printing.
- Why does my image lose detail?
- Halftone describes tone through dot size, so any feature smaller than a dot disappears. Use a large, simple source image — screenprinting has always demanded bold artwork for exactly this reason.
