Heatpress vinyl or screenprint.

For heatpress vinyl, you mean print and cut (as there is gradient ?)

It also depends on how soft of hand you want. Vinyl definately would not be soft. If soft is desired then we would screen print that design with discharge.

How many of these are there? I would screen print them personally. Probably not with discharge, but with a 230 and flash with another 230. You would get a great gradient at a 55 line screen.

Does it have to have the lens flare effect? Looks a bit tacky imo, be better without it.

The gradient is necessary. It is more a test file for me, as I never made haltone, only spotcolor.

For the process, if I screen print it
In photoshop I convert it to bitmap choose a 55 line screen, diamond shape , make some cleaning, print it and burn it on a 230 screen ?
I have no discharge ink, but can print it on a light garment with black ink.

Is that correct ?
