    Default Looking for a heady printer!

    I've been told time and time again that my work can only be done
    digitally on the press. Anyone have any suggestions?
    I'm up to my brows in projects and I need someone to do it
    right.

    These are probably blurry, WGAF.
    Peace

    are you looking for a digital printer?
    if you're insisting on screen printing, it could be done, but neither you or your clients are likely to be able to afford 20 color prints on a deadline

    Learn to design for screenprinting if you want to screenprint your posters. You can still do very detailed work. see Drowning Creek.

    or maybe you are looking for a digital printer? I'm old and stupid, i don't get 'heady'. Ink jet heads? LSD powered squeegee?

    Maybe lithograph?
    You're right screen printing is not an option.
    Just curious... if anyone had any ideas.
    I live in Arkansas & deal with backwoods
    hillbilly printers who usually print word documents.
    I typically send up to KC.
    But if you have a great press contact I'd love to know.

    i ate every crayon in the box.

    i've seen more colors than that screenprinted...but i believe each print went for a couple of big-big bills (talking higher than the hundred dollar bills)

    Digital just loses the "touch". But, for fest posters it would be hard to ask for

    ^^^Thanks for the "badass"!

    Maybe you could print them digitally and then screen something on top to keep the "touch"
