Print A Colorful Image Using Only 4 Screens

This is one of our favorite techniques for printing a multi-color, vibrant image using only 4 screens. It simulates the 4-color process technique but using fluorescent colors. Watch the video on how simply it's done.

We chose this particular art for its varying colors and detail. The leaves of the tree were separated using 55-line halftones and were printed through a 250 mesh. The black trunk and branches were printed using a 156 mesh screen.

Here are the details on the how-to:
