cmyk is composed of dots like a halftone is. Ie, not solid spot colour printing
CMYK Process
I have been doing spot colors and now I am ready to start doing CMYK prints. Have a few questions so I am clear on what to do.
Are all CMYK prints in Halftones???
What mesh sizes should I use.... and how do I calculate on what mesh size to use??

Probably 320 mesh
Take a look at some of the process tutorials on YouTube. Ryonet have one I found helpful.

I have no idea since I have never ever used plastisol beforewhat about plastisol ink
googled and I see you do get cmyk process ink in plastisol
Four Color Process Plastisol Inks
quick scan same principal
higher mesh count, still halftones and wet on wet no flashing inbetween since the colours need to blend

Yes this is plastisol I do waterbase as often as I do CMYK. I personally like the brighter colors and not be rushed do to the water base drying. I charge way more for water base.This is a WCMYK. I probably do a CMYK about 1 time a year. I mostly do simulated process. IMO it just takes the right file. This was done on a 272 mesh 50 LPI. This one was done with aposing angles.
4 color process is done with halftones.I have been doing spot colors and now I am ready to start doing CMYK prints. Have a few questions so I am clear on what to do.

mesh size will determine what LPI is used for the halftone. i would not recommend lower then 45lpi, 45lpi i would recommend using 200+mesh
if you have 280+ mesh, i would use those with 55lpi
