Hello much respect to all the artists out there..
I am having trouble understanding how to design a black or white shirt with a realistic look* for example a skull with shading in the detail, human faces with shading.
I have designed and printed shirts in the past using photoshop and illustrator
mainly vector looking images cartoonish* looking with NO SHADING watsoever
I havr the drawing skill I just need the knowledge of the propper steps to this
Would I scan it and put it on Photoshop would I have to enlarge it and would it loose its quality?* Any tips???
I am looking at purchasing a 13x19 epson to print transparencies BUT I WANT TO SCREEN PRINT DESIGNS ABOUT 24"X20"+-
Wat would be my best printer of choice? ??

No quick, simple answer to this really. You would be better off spending a few hours trawling YouTube and watching as many tutorials as you can.
Right I guess I am asking too many questions at once ill try youtube see wat I learn
Thanks

for screen printing, the most common method is to separate the design as a simulated process (spot halftone). Index is another good method but not as ideal for gradients.
have you done halftones before?

No ive never tried printing halftones its been a lil intimidating
can I just use photoshop to do it and use an epson printer or do I really need the rip??

yes, scan and clean it up/make adjustments in a bitmap editor like AdobePhotoshop.Would I scan it and put it on Photoshop would I have to enlarge it and would it loose its quality?* Any tips???
image clarity depends on image resolution at actual print size. 300ppi is ideal, 200ppi is ok, lower and the image looks blurry in my opinion.
when you scan in the design, try to scan in at the highest resolution you can. in Photoshop, lowering the resolution without resampling will inlarge the design (lowering a 1200ppi image to 300ppi enlarges the image by 400%)
Throw me some guidance guys Im ready to get this ball rolling

you can do the halftones in AdobePhotoshop using the bitmap mode method. T-Shirt Forums - Search Results for bitmap halftonesNo ive never tried printing halftones its been a lil intimidating

halftone printing.
when you are going to lose (like me) is when you want to print on darks and it's more than 4 colors because you need either a white underbase or discharge underbase.
really wish i had bought a six color press but for what i do now i'm fine.
if you are not comfortable with outputting the films yourself there are always print shops that will do them for you. but, of course, it makes sense to learn how to do it yourself to save that money.
-good luck.
