These exaggerated reticles, different from the pattern we are used to, are currently my favorites. I have also noticed that in the serigraphic line of some famous brands the use of these large lattices is usual and has an excellent aesthetic finish.
The advantages are that it is easier to create them, as they are bigger, it is less complicated to reveal the matrix, very good for the guy who has not left the "flat" drawing yet and wants to move on to this second step in screen printing ...

A visual aspect that pleases me a lot in this use of larger screen sizes is the double effect of the image, this one is very little detailed, the highlight is the huge points that try to form the image. But, viewed from a greater distance, the halftone image is as perfect as a photo, altering the perception by our field of vision, in an optical illusion.
This gives personality to the print and draws the viewer's attention to this detail.

In practice: This print by the German singer Nina Hagen! it was artistically reticulated via software (in this case with CorelDraw), after downloading this famous photo, I gave a good improvement in the image (resample / clean / equalize) Transforming it also in half tone (shades of gray). This is an important step, because if the photo downloaded from the net goes straight to paper, it does not have enough resolution, this deficiency reflects negatively on the final result.
The reticle points can be of different shapes, round, elliptical (oval) ... Transforming into a nomochromatic image in Corel, we also have the options of line / in crux / square / fixed 4x4 and 8x8 etc ... That, for a mega original image to use, the ones in the serigraphy, it's just a leap with the imagination.
I chose some square points, with 0º of inclination so that they were aligned horizontally. With a size of 4 lines per inch, huge. But, the image was a big size too, almost an A2.
The command is simple. After the image is ready and selected it goes in Bitmaps / mode / black and white (1bit) / halftone. As illustrated below.
In the previewer we already see how it will look and make the necessary changes.


At the time of stamping, a "makeup" with the primary colors, concluded the rudimentary "polychrome".
An irregular rectangle in each eye (cyan and yellow) and a magenta lipstick.

The materials used were fabrics with 77-thread fabric, diazo emulsion, chamfered squeegee, cold rigid table (without foam lining) and clear paints for polychromy.

- lpi + size: A confused friend imagined that the usual reticle units were the bigger, the bigger ... A mistake, in our case the bigger, the smaller. English LPI that says "Lines per inch", that is, Lines per inch. Imagine that in a standard textile polychrome we use 45 lpi, in an inch (2.54cm), 45 lines of halftone dots can fit ... If we decrease the number of lines automatically we increase the size of the halftone itself. Capiche?
 

Good prints !!!
