Where can I find some decent Illustrator tutorials for screen printing
Hello,
I have been searching youtube.com for the past couple of days but cant seem to find any tutorials for using Illustrator for screen printing...I have a pretty good understanding of Photoshop and am curently using Photoshop for all of my artwork needs...but most of the posts suggest learning Illustrator....so thats what I need to do....
any help would be appreciated

Well I think most people use illustrator over photoshop because (personally I think) its easier for vector art, I use photoshop mainly just for the use of the magic wand and then once im done with the object in photoshop I put it in illustrator, I just dont get what your asking about illustrator for screen printing. illustrator is used to create the designs, and screen printing is used for making the designs come real. They are two totally different things.

OK let me rephrase my question.....does anyone know where I can find some decent Illustrator tutorials for separating colors....printing halftones.....and just basic positive printing for screen printing?

It depends upon your setup. It depends which version of Illustrator.
Are you using a RIP? You need to print to the Adobe Postscript Driver, that will give you the separations options in the print dialogue box.
Then just open with your RIP and print.
If you aren't using a RIP, then you don't have the separations options and it's a bit more difficult, manual seps and composite blacks.
