Default Possible to print this CMYK? If so need help!!



Will it be possible to print this logo I made CMYK on black? If so how could I get the gradient effect on the arrows? I understand the gist of CMYK printing but are there any tips that some more experienced printers could give me. Maybe someone who has worked with bright colors like this! Any help is appreciated since im trying to get this printed by the end of the week. Thanks!

No, you won't be able to print anything in CMYK on black shirts(since CMYK inks are translucent). I would separate and print this as a simulated process print using regular plastisol inks.

PM Fred from imageit, that's his forte. I would do it simulated process with 6 or more colors. That one's a challenge.

Even on white doing cmyk, that green shade is gonna be a bear. You might do cmyk, plus a spot green for the truck.
