can a spot color go down first?

Could a Pantone spot color be put down first, and then have pro cyan, followed by pro yellow and pro black screens applied over the spot?

Trying to build a green color the client likes

 

Short answer is yes, however if the run is long enough, that spot color will begin to dirty the process colors. If you raise the tack level too high, your paper will pick. Ya may want that to be last down, a lot depends on the coverage.

 

A little late, but ...
Short answer, no experience, most printers do not use a light 110 a shirt.

When I plastisol, 25 years ago, starting out, my screen is dark shirt inventory was pretty dark for the muddy INKS INKS much light shirt for the 160, and 110.
Since then, the value of cotton and 50/50 INKS creamier white and other opaque achieved, and I think they are pretty well over 160 print, and I use it mostly for white and light over darkness INKS 180 and 200.

I still sometimes dark on light fleece for INKS 110, may be used, but even that is up to 125 or something similar in the future. is absolutely spot color color color INKS that those (large bright red or green kelly, or Pantone 123), some sort of dot printing process separations and color to achieve the desired final solution, as opposed to used. It may be a halftoned print a spot color.

Burn the image on all the screens you think might be suitable and test it out. Whichever count puts down just the right amount of ink is your go to for dark ink on lights with simple art. You want a screen that clears easily but doesn't dump too much ink on there. Also, get to know your mesh counts and what they are going to put down with your emulsion coating technique. As mentioned, how you coat will make a difference. Search around for the 'glisten method' of coating. I recommend locking down your coating technique first to help mitigate this variable.

 

Not sure if this a language issue or not, but what do you mean when you say "get to know your mesh counts"?

 

George he is talking about screen printing not offset!

 

ziggy his profile has him doing it offset. I would say that it depends on the opacity of the spot color you want you put down. A darker color would work down first but a lighter color with a high percentage of transparent white would probably be better down last
