 Full Color, 4 Color, 6 Color, Seps, halftones oh my!
Ok, been reading and viewing screen printing articles here and on the net as well as looking at tshirts at lots of stores...
I have been using desktop publishing software for awhile so I think I can get that side worked out.
Here is the real deal... I see alot of tshirts that look like full color prints with real gradients, and they feel like screen printed ink.
I know there are ways to get a process print accomplished using halftones and the right mix of cmyk all applied in a magical order.
Before i purchase equipment or make some other bad decision I want the straight dope.
I know how to design for 4 or 6 colors with each color separated out on a different layer so i can print each individually. And, I see a lot of single color designs as well.
It must be very hard to get true full color, what up with that.
Anyone getting good results with full color, or is there some other magic i dont possess yet.
Im yet to see a good break down on this from creation of a very colorfull design to reproducing that on a shirt? |
