Half Tone Success!

So i just finished my very first halftone image and at first i did not think that my printer would be capable of doing it but it did! The images i have done are one is of Jim Morrison which is in the picture and the other is of Betty Page, which i have not yet done but hopefully will get to do today!


So when making a Half tone image you do not want to use a screen such as 110 or 156 mesh screen probably not even 230. The screen that i used was a 305 mesh screen and it worked very well. also when exposing it only takes about 12 min with a 500 watt work light so just a min or 30 seconds less then normal because there is less emulsion on the screen in comparision to what a 110 or a 21o would have.

As you can see in the picture all the lil dots that make the image work together to make a shadow look and to make it seem almost like a picture. This print was for a friend of mine who wanted it on her sweater.

and after having it on her sweater she said
"He's yummmmy" Kalya

What a creep
