Brockum Metallica Ringmaster

Post by Forestcityshirtguy »

The front of the shirt looks great but then back of the print alsmost looks too good, it still has way more colour left in it compared to the front and in the last photo you can see in the Metallica on the back side almost has like a yellow tone to it which I don’t think is right

Any opinion is appreciated thanks in advance

At first glance it looks good, can you do a shot of the back of the ringmasters jacket?

I see the yellow highlights in the Metallica logo - is that what you mean? So that color was likely used as the base, often done with prints on black shirts - it's showing because the registration was probably slightly off.

I've included the fake version of this below and you can see it pales in comparison with fine details.

Yes of course heres the front and back!
Also one of the main things that confuses me is how different the front and back spiderwebs are, the webbing on the back seems very bright compared to the front as if it’s like two different colours

Yeah you're good. That webbing can be explained by the fact that the front and back are done at different times, one side is done first, then it cures. Then they do the reverse side, reload the ink, could even be a different person doing it - using different pressure, using slightly more or less ink, could have even started using a slightly different ink.

The details are toooo good for this to be fake.
