it's amazing how much "colour" you see just from the cyan and magenta.
there's an early colour photo process where you made 3 negatives and then exposed each onto a single print, I think. there's some examples in the V&A photo gallery.
ETA: oh looks like dye transfer https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/photographic-p . I thought it was something earlier than that...

If you balance out the colour with a CMYK it should actually be feasible to have up to a 75% black, that's what I should have aimed for.
The limit with screen printing is with the detail. This was done at 65 lines per inch which is a noticble halftone. I like the style of them though.
It's interesting that the slightest change of pressure or squeegee angle changes the amount of ink going down and so the contrast and saturation. Every print has to be done in exactly the same way or risk them all looking different.... that's the art I guess.

Something a bit different....
I took some pictures when out in LA and being a screenprinter by profession I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn some mad CMYK printing skills.
Got the 35mm developed and then used the digital scan to make the following:
Cyan-
Magenta -
Yellow-
Key-
And then a stylised background-
Colour balance is slightly off from the cyan and the black has to much information, but seems to work as a first attempt. Think I might do a few more from the shots I got.
