Doing things backwards is a common way to align the variables in a production process—as long as the controls for the end result can remain consistent. In other words, the press of flatbed printer needs to be in good shape and hold registration for the whole refinement to take shape. It makes no sense to try to work backwards from test screen prints done on an uneven press with dull squeegees, warped screens, and bumped platens. Results will vary too much, depending on the uncontrollable surfaces and pressures presented. Only by dialing everything in will it make sense to work through the process backwards and isolate the necessary elements that can provide a new standard for color-blend printing.
