Sirs, Good day. I have questions about CMYK process and halftoning effects.

How do you do it? I have a tutorial making it on Adobe Photoshop, but I still don't get what inks I have to use, coz I saw a video on youtube doing this process but he uses RED with his design, I'm kinda confuse. Here's the link for that video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW0fLlbt5iA

Halftone Effect, What meshcount do I need to use for this? is it possible for #100 mesh to do this?

Thanks sirs in advance. Please Help me, ^_^

thats not red..its magenta..in four color process or cmyk printing you are using cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink..there are special inks use for this king of process for better blending of colors but you can use any transparent color to blend like wetlook..

any mesh count will do for halftones but the size of the dots depends on the mesh..basically the higher the mesh count the better cause it will give you finer details..the lower mesh count the coarse the detail will be cause you are going to use larger dots for the screen to hold..

try using the search function of the forum..there are many topics already posted out there about your questions..try reading them first..it can answer lots of your inquiries before posting another thread.
