These samples are process on black tees? Not to sound skeptical, because all I've printed is process on white with a white underbase to help hold down fibrillation, but many say process on black is tough or next to impossible because the white underbase necessary to block out the black renders the process inks pastel. I'm using Union's process inks also. Is the transfer function you show here the one you used for this prints? I already have to double-stroke some stuff to get a good, rich print, so maybe I'll try these, since they're a little more aggressive on the ends. By the way, the samples you are showing look pretty damn good, especially for someone just venturing into process work. Process on black would be a hell of a lot easier than simulated on black if it works as well as these samples indicate.

Thanks for your input.
