This is a general question, so whatever you have in mind throw it out there.
I'm having a hard time adjusting from designing for print to designing for screenprint. A lot of issues become constraints. When designing for a digital press the amount of colors aren't an issue. But this has everything to do with screenprinting. How do I get gradients to print nice on a shirt? I still don't quite understand the separation process and most importantly I'd like to know your techniques of reducing colors and still having acceptable artwork.
I work in Photoshop and Illustrator and we currently have our screenprinter do the separations. Ideally, I'd like to send them something that needs little adjustment so that I know what to expect in terms of quality and also to keep cost down.
