The first screen print company I worked for in digital seps worked exclusively at 37 lpi and 63 degrees for the angle.

He never cared about detail, all that he required was no moire on any screen, from 15t/centimetre to 120t/centimetre.

What does the "t" stand for in 15t/centimetre?

What you say doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. You say the company worked exclusively at a 63 degree angle in order to avoid moire. If you are only printing one color moire is not an issue (unless you are rescreening but that is a "separate" issue so to speak.

I think scitex used to use (and maybe still does) 53 degrees for black and most others use 45 degrees for black or 1 color. This is because it is believed that 45 or near 45 degrees is least noticeable to the unconsious eye.

I would have thought that NOTHING is noticeable to the unconscious eye.

You have a poin there, but isn’t that was subliminal is all about?

Its like Musak (as much as I abhor (sp?) the idea–it alledgely calms, energizes, etc. unconsiously I’m told.

I see your point but dissagree. Thats just it–you don’t consiously perceive it but are affected by it–even people under anesthesia sometimes talk, unconciously.

When you are dreaming in the morning and sounds from the real world get incorporated into the dream is that concious, subconcious or unconcious?

If you don’t perceive it, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t affect you.

Hit the dictionaries, Alan.

I see you edited your post.

Dreams are definitely in the realm of the subconscious.

T-shirt printing is done through a mesh onto another
so you can have three conflicting lines even in monochromatic printing: the ink line, the silk and the cotton.

There’s a huge difference between the unconscious and the un… educated (many transcendent truths reside in unconscious areas of the educated mind : )

I don’t know if every Madison Ave exect or psych person will agree.

Videodrome.

Alan,

Yes, they will agree with me. That’s the whole point, subliminal advertising works on the subconscious.

There is a huge difference between a sleeping person and an unconscious person.

You really need to brush up on the subject.

If the subliminal message or information is not perceived at the subconscious level, it will have ZERO effect. By definition.

I have no clue what the reference to "videodrome" is about. If it has to do with movies, television or sports, I would not be interested.

"t" is threads Alan, silk screen meshes are measured in threads per inch in the USA or threads per centimetre in the rest of the world.

Fixed :p
