bad halftones

Q for #graphicdesign experts, particularly those designing for #merch or #print:
What’s the smallest dot that can be printed via #DTG (direct to garment) printing?
This is a sample I had printed and the dots are a mess. I know they need to be bigger but what’s the smallest size where each dot looks clearly like a dot?

Hi, I’m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. I’m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.

More Notes & Asides

X-men 2000 movie poster. The poster is divided into 5 columns, broken up by a black band with ‘X-MEN’ in the middle. Above & below the word, each column shows a partial face of 10 different characters.
We watched the 2000 #Xmen movie last night. The technology was a bit dated, as expected. The cgi was pretty good for the era, but I really wish they’d used a character besides Toad, who I find gimmicky. The story holds up, and holds up a mirror too. I always liked that they went straight for using the Mutant Registration Act as the main storyline instead of an origin tale. Has X-men historically appealed to LGBTQ comic lovers who could relate to their struggles for acceptance? The protests & attitudes against mutants also made me think of the trans community today, and the genocide the GOP & their fascist kin are attempting with all their laws, dog whistles, and stochastic terrorism. The #movie feels quaint, compared to modern times where these people do much, much worse than protest with signs. #movies #comics #comicbooks

ADHD
The energy to do anything.
The focus to accomplish nothing.
Too damn true 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just completed a #WeeklyReview for the first time ever, after spending a couple of weeks wrangling with #Obsidian & the Templater plugin (and reading too many how to posts from people who all do things differently). I’m finding daily notes helpful for thinking about what I want to get done and clear my head early in the day, and the weekly review is something I’ve been putting off for a couple of years until I had a process that made sense (mad props to Obsidian for being the vehicle for this) #Productivity is such a challenge with #adhd because 99% of the neurotypical advice just doesn’t work for us. So it’s a struggle not only finding something that might work, but tweaking it until it makes sense for my specific brain. #PKM #Neurodiversity #AdultADHD #ADHDer

A belated #Caturday to the #Fediverse! Here’s the queen of the house wondering why we don’t just wait by her food bowl 24/7 to give her food every 5 minutes. #Cat #Cats #Felines #CaturdayEveryday
