then the information i posted earlier is partly wrong..here's the reference:
FAQ -=> Artwork
I wouldn't say it's wrong. I keep it simple for my customers. I tell my customer spots are solid colors.
How do you print the gradients?
Let's try not to be too sensitive or too defensive. There is simply a difference of opinion, or misunderstanding(if you will) but no one is saying about anything being "wrong". Even if someone is, let's try to keep the discussion healthy by elaborating.
Chard, the information you posted is correct but you can also just "quote" or "link" the information so any "questions" or contrary opinion is directed to the source of the information. Also, the images you copied with the text did not fall into their proper places (in my computer) so maybe that made it less clear.
Brice. Yes, sometimes it is better not to be too detailed especially if a customer is the type who simply wants to know if you can get the job done. You are correct that spot colors are solid colors. But halftones,
unless its color are achieved through the blending of 2 or more colors, should also be spot colors. That is how I understand spot colors to be - colors on the shirt are the same as the colors of the inks and not colors blended from 2 or more inks.
