 Re: Having some trouble. Screen printing over colors?
Yeah, if your colors overlap the top color will look a little different than it would if there were nothing under it. Also, you're wasting ink by doing that, and making the design heavier, as was mentioned before. Even with a black layer you'll see and feel the edges of the layer(s) beneath. If you're printing with discharge, water-based inks, or wet-on-wet, you'll definitely want to eliminate that overlap.
You didn't mention what software you're using, but if you're using photoshop you can put each color on a separate layer, select a top layer, use the magic wand set to non-contiguous to select all the empty areas, then select the layers underneath one at a time, and do a "cut pixels" to eliminate the overlap. |
