    screen printing uses full colors (like PANTONES) so printing a cmyk image will not work at that level of detail (it would look more like a big billboard seen at short distance) unless you use a massive amount of individual colors and a shitload of time preparing the separation.
    I suggest another alternative.

    • yeah...that's what I'm seeing
      suggestions?

    • Not true. You can screen print CMYK using transparent inks on light backgrounds, or by backing it with white.MarleyMarl
    • it can also be separated in halftones (not CMYK) and printed with pigment discharge inks for dark bodiesd_gitale
    • halftones = screens lolmonospaced
