Has anybody had success in trying to get a gradient/halftone look with vinyl?
I am trying to do different techniques to achieve this. Although it would be for personal use only because it is very time consuming to weed, I think it came out pretty nice. Please feel free to give comments, suggestions and other techniques. Thanks

It looks like you could have weeded each letter if you pulled from the outline, but you would loose the outline. One option would be to put an outer white outline and pull the inner outline. This would result in a black outline inside the white outline and then the series of vertical lines. The results would be similar but potentially much easier to weed.

Very nice effect, and that gives me lots of ideas too!
I can sure see why you'd say that it'd be for personal use only... heheh
Maybe done on a slightly larger scale would make it easier to weed, when and if that time comes, but still get the same overall effect.
That was pretty cool, I couldn't figure out how to do that till this past summer. I always used bond all on the vinyl peice that I chose then I just airbrushed the greys and darks on the vinyl and then I heat pressed all of it together on the shirt came out pretty good.
It took me about 20 to 25 minutes to weed. I just figured out a way to weed in about 5 to 10. I will try to explain the easier way after i post some pictures of it. (I say "try" because I am not very good at giving directions). Thanks for your comments. will keep you posted.
