@Brian:

Rich is going to send me some printed post script half tone swatch samples that I can try to do some matching on. I don’t know when, but you know I’ll post any updates when I get them for the Pengo stuff:)

He said he was going to run some ideas by you in your knowledge color halftones, actually.

If i’m not mistaken, the way to proceed here would be for rich to print a film positive and do the old fashioned letraset cut to fit halftones on the respective colors right? rich? bueller?

Here are some photos of the Pengo background and the lettering. Both have halftone patterns, and the dots are not uniform. So, double whammy, red to blue gradient on the lettering with half tone dots.

What does this mean Rich? What next? Both of those can be replication in the rip process? You will need a sample of the artwork to match the dot pattern like you needed on the half tone pattern on the Omega Race sideart?

@Richard:

I will look when I get back home and post an update to this comment on that Pengo lettering. I I actually think there is just a red to blue gradient in the Pengo lettering and the halftone pattern is in the background where it fades from blue to white on the ice mountains.

Looking B-A-UITFUL! Jeff
Ill send some halfotne samples your way to get a better first hand look at before and after results.
Are these solid consistant halftones or more of a gradient?
For Example: do the dots stay the same distance apart throughout the printed area??

Still searching for the right theme. Premium is the best I’ve seen so far, but I’me still looking. You should be safe.

@Jeff:

Thanks for the offer on the large format printer. If I can’t do it at his work, I may contact you, but it would be nice to be able to do it local and I am sure I could pump my network for someone who could print me a Pengo sideart copy;)

Cool that you switched over to WordPress, and good choice. I didn’t recognize the web address, so I had to visit to figure it out. I changed your link to reflect the new domain.You are now in a growing number of collectors with WordPress blogs.

I do hope you change your theme;0 though, otherwise you are going to force me to customize mine more so my Rotheblog brand is still unique.

Looks good. Let me know if you run into problems getting your comparison print printed out. I have access to a 42″ HP printer and would be more than willing to help if needed.

@Jamie:

I really liked making these separations, it was cool to see the different shapes and pieces of the Pengo artwork.

It seems like buying a Pengo is the cool thing to do lately, at least around Indiana. The fad will probably move to your neck of the woods soon and many many Pengo machines will start popping up for sale.
