Hi Guys
I recently started working with a screen printer, re-drawing the scraps of paper his customers give him into nice clean vector art. But I am struggling with my half tones.
What is the best was to create a half tone for screen printing?
This is the image, it will be a one colour (white) print on a black t-shirt. I just need to get my half tones correct or it will look like crap!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, Josh..........
But if you have a Postscript printer or at least a ps driver installed (you can also use the generic device independent ps file the Corel provides), you can go into the Advanced area under the Separations Tab and change your .lpi and screen angle for your halftones.
Thanks for your replies.
I was not 100% sure what I was asking either...I am not a screen printer! I have just been asked by a screen printer to do artwork....which is easy enough but when you start talking about screen angles I get all confuzzeled.
rasterizing the image then converting it back sounds like a good idea. I know the guys I am trying to do this for has some large professional epson printer...but he is totally computer illiterate.
Is what your talking about the same as a RIP?....
I was hoping I could set up a pattern in Corel to replicate a half tone or fade...but that I am guessing will depend on the mesh size and screen angle?
I might just pay someone to do it...I am so lazy...
Thanks again.
Josh

are they printing the screen positive onto clear film via the Epson using the straight non-PS driver?
