 Process screen printing - Photos
I've been doing a little reading on this and it sounds interesting. Is anyone here doing it? From what I gather, you print CMY and K colors, each in half tones and the end result looks close to the original photo.
I read that you need very, VERY precise registration and fine mesh screens (300 or so). All I currently have are 110. Are there any other tricks? Do you have to thin the ink using a fine mesh screen? I would be printing on transfer paper, not directly to the fabric.
I've done some screen printing, but since I set up to do digital transfers, I haven't even looked at my screen printing equipment. This whole dark shirt thing has me wanting to blow the dust off it though. |
