I can't say that's true without question, but all Ames posters (to my knowledge) are screened. The handbills/postcards aren't but...

arent all ames bros prints screen printed?

that's not acurate.......they are a few lithos from 1996 or 1998. the terrorist looking one is a litho.

Regardless, you can't mistake a litho for a screen print, unless you have never seen either in person. Trust me man, you will just know. We're talkin apples and oranges here

Jojo is on to something. My Mazzy Star Hampton is a silk screen but looks nothing like his other silk screens that I own.

Not knowing either print very well, is it this one:

or this one:

I seem to recall something about the "lines out of the TV" one being a bit unlike most screenprints but there are some like that - especially if the stock tends to be a bit on the glossy side of things (I recall thinking that same thing with Justin Hampton's Mazzy Star and 2002 Strokes prints - very much unlike a "typical" screenprint but both are such regardless).
Might want to try asking at BRY as well.
