 Re: Saving photoshop files for screen printing ..??
No it is not common unless the art will be printed as a cmyk print. We print a lot of cmyk yet the majority of our prints are simulated process. Color editing and tweaking is better with RGB art as it has a wider color gamut than CMYK.

You convert the old fashion way by recreating the art in a vector app. Depending on the art you may be able to select the various colors/elements, convert the selection to a path and export the paths to Illy. No matter what it is not an easy process.
Any digital work is best created in rgb. If you need to print to a desktop printer or send to a vedor that does need cmyk you can make a copy of the art (rgb) file and convert this one to CMYK. Aways keep the original in rgb. If all you do is work in a cmyk workflow environment that you can create in cmyk. anything else is best advised to stay with the wider color gamut for easier editing. |
