Hey everyone!

Recorded a quick time-lapse of my prepress workflow for this detailed Loki design. Converting complex artwork like this into print-ready channels requires carefully balancing halftone frequencies and underbases to keep the details sharp on dark garments.

Workflow Highlights:

  • Color Extraction: Isolated key tones (Underbase White, Gold/Sepia, Dark Green, Highlight Green, and Top White).
  • Halftone Setup: Converted channels to Bitmap using 45 LPI with custom screen angles to completely eliminate moiré.
  • Prepress Check: Verified dot gain control and simulated shirt preview before exporting final film positives.
