Default 10 color screen printing

How would someone do a 6-10 color screen when the biggest station I saw on a search is a 6 color 6 station screen printer. also is there such a thing as using CMYK colors to get photo realistic results? and have flourecent colors all on the same print? so on a 6 station system have the set up like this...1 c 2 m 3 y 4 k 5 FL orange 6 FL green you know what I mean?

There are 8 stations, 12 stations, etc. The more stations there are, it's most likely going to be an automatic. Yes CMYK offers photo realistic results with halftones. Process colors can also be used instead of CMYK if needed. You will need a postscript printer and program to seperate the films.

Default Re: 10 color screen printing

Stations are considered Palettes. usually a press is referred as a 6 color 6 station press. Color being the number of colors printable and stations the platens.

My automatic is a 10 color 12 station press.

More than likely you can reduce the number of colors in the art by mixing on press. Essentially this is called a simulated process or Index separations/print. Takes a lot of knowledge to get good results.
