Is there a company that you can send your design and the company puts it on a screen so you can use it to print? I'm new to screenprinting, any help would be greatly appriciated.

Yes, there are companies that offer that service (for example, in my area at least one of the supply companies does it).

Hundreds. You are looking for "screens for the trade".

I'm sure any screen printing supplier could suggest someone in their area, if they don't do it themselves.

Where do you live?

I live in Maine. I guess what I meant was, screens that has the designs you furnished to the company on it. Then I print on to shirts or whatever. I don't know how to break down colors onto screens. Thanks.

You are describing separations and screen making. You will find that these are much more complicated skills than actually screen printing.

I'm sure your local screen printing supplier can also suggest someone.

I would like you to Google "screen printing separations" and look for an article by Scott Fresener. You will also see other pages that will build up your ideas.
