Default Re: Full Color, 4 Color, 6 Color, Seps, halftones oh my!

cmyk seps warrant specific angles for each plate/screen. this helps to achecive the rosette pattern and minimize moire. Depending on the design 45-55 is a good dot size. Anything higher and manual printing might be tougher than usual. (burning as well)

Scott F from usscreen offers these angles to the general publicv. I will state that a lot of artists/printers have their own special angles that work best for them.
