For anyone interested in the basics of CMYK screen-printing this is a fairly easy to see example. All the 4 layers are clearly visible and as the original image was predominantly a darkish blue then most of the information is in the Cyan & Magenta layers.

Here is a comparison of a finished CMYK print (right) next to a CMY version without the black layer printed yet. Once the black layer is printed, even thought quite faint it pulls the whole image together.

The screen-print was printed in 2009 while studying at Bath School of Art. Given the small size of the print it makes it easier to line up the layers more precisely.
