Wrapping up three days in Dallas!
Photorealistic portraits are among the toughest jobs in screen printing. The image depends on fine halftone dots for the soft shadows, the glint in the eyes, and the thin strands of hair and thorns. If the screen loses those dots, or the press drifts out of register, the image turns muddy fast.
This print was imaged on the QS2536 digital screen maker, which produces clean, consistent stencils that keep the small dots intact. It was then run on the Vastex V-2000 press, whose rigid build and precise registration put that detail exactly where it belongs on the shirt.
The result is a dramatic, high-contrast portrait on a black garment, with depth and texture you’d expect from a much more complicated process.
