The story of Spooky Paintball design

Spooky Paintball, a new design I received from my client to prepare, turned out quite challenging. The design has been pre-rasterized in low lines count, and the colors were offset, making it hard to separate. The client had the possibility to print only 7 colors, so I had to reduce their number. I prepared two versions to choose which will look better.
One where the design is without a last white which gave me one additional color. The second where is one color less in order to print a last white. The client chose the first version. He printed the version with more colors but didn’t print the black.

8 colors wet on wet without white underbase on the cotton bags

This is the original design received from my customer from the USA. He has only 6 available printing heads so  I decided to separate it to cmyk process with white underbase.

Unfortunately, this design has many color shades which are not reproducible with CMYK. Gray areas show these problematic shades – gamut warning!.

This is a separated design to the cmyk process. I decided to add one light Pantone blue color to achieve some light blue shades.

This is already printed final design.
