Two different shades of black on this?

about The Morning After

If you look closely at the enlarged picture of this shirt, there appears to be two different shades of black. I hope it doesn't look like this when it's printed.

where do you see the different shades (on what parts of the design)? It could just be an illusion caused by the surrounding colors.. I'll open it up in photoshop and check, though.

Look at the enlarged gif image at the bottom of the product page. might look like one black on a PC monitor because of the gamma settings, but on a mac i can see two distinct shades of black. one of them is RGB black and the other is 100% Key (CMYK)

actually, it looks like you're right.. the black on the toilet is different from the black on the clown, although it's a very subtle difference. It's probably not a big enough one to even show up on the shirt, would be my guess.

Ah okay.. mac vs pc would explain that. You could always try blowing up the product pic to see if the colors are any different in real life.
