Please refer to JVC specifications for four color process for a list of acceptable proofs. In the screen printing process, we are printing through a very fine mesh. Because of the threads that make up the mesh, very small dots, like those in higher line counts, will sometimes fall on a thread, or not come through at all. This causes loss of detail and loss of color. We recommend all four color process jobs to be 85 lpi, with a maximum of 100 lpi.
Some small dots tend to wash off the screen, or fall on a thread intersection.
The final result will have missing dots, and therefore loss of color and detail. A. Small text or lines may fall onto a thread intersection, resulting in a broken or choppy print. Text should be at least 4 points. For reversed or dropped out text, a minimum of 6 points. Sans Serif font is recommended for all small text.
