  2. I'm not sure I understand your question...but...normally the Yellow is printed at the zero angle. With halftone screening 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° are all the same angle. When measuring angles, some countries place the 0° as the vertical angle while some countries place the 0° as the horizontal angle. But for halftone screening this does not matter since 0° and 90° are the same.

  3. Hi Gordon,

    Love your blog.

    This might just be a no go all together but I have a 9 spot colour job that is going to be screen printed and I was going to set the screen angle as we are going to need half tone through each colour to be able to print it. Is this just a no go? Each colour would be around the 40degrees....?

    Well you're certainly in a pickle. But honestly, I can't imagine any art that requires 9 halftone screened colors printed on top of each other. After awhile the colors will just cancel out the ones below them. So I'd take a hard look at the art and simplify it so that it makes production sense.

    best, gordo
