How to Screen Print T Shirts cmyk 

C- is actually Cyan process ink. M- is actually Magenta process ink. Y- is Yellow process ink. B- is actually Black process ink... they have to be actual process inks.. using just a standard multi purpose plastisol is wrong.. and will not work. The colors must be process color plastisol.. or whatever type of ink.. water base or discharge ..

@@LearnHowToScreenPrint Thank you very much.

I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tips you can give me.

@Caiden Cristiano instablaster =)

@Cash Silas Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

1 stroke!

TBECupid hey thanks for watching and commenting! Any other videos that would help?

For right now no, but I was wondering what is that thing you use when you go and flash it I have not really seen any other people use it and also what does it do? Thanks!

TBECupid that is a flash dryer- it just dry’s the top layer of ink enough to lay down another coat or color...

Oscar's Places thank you for your kind words! We are working everyday to get better.

No problem! Thank you for the support

Tim McElheny hey thank you for watching and commenting!

No problem. Thanks for watching

What’s triple durometer it’s not 85?

TeeVince89 hey thanks for watching and commenting!

Gigih Ikhsani that’s a GREAT question that I think a lot of of have given its popularity & the possibilities if that were possible I am assuming given how discharge & CMYK work independently that the answer would be no but I’m not certain.I have the same question and will be trying to look up some tutorial videos for the same question elsewhere. If I find something, I’ll try to find this comment and give u the link or the channel to try to help answer your question. Best of luck to u!

Filter - Pixelate - Colour halftone

joel e hunt we used ultra seps just because I have had it so long and have always used it- I haven’t used accurip to much to print halftones because I haven’t taken the time to learn it...

CrossFit RockSteady yes did I forget to mention those things?

lol

CrossFit RockSteady yeah probably could of done with one mention...maybe 2 but 4 might of been to many;) thanks for watching!

Kevin B I think printer preference yes correct. I like to push because it’s easier on the body. And we can go 65lpi on our 305’s but that’s as high as accurip will print halftones. I think some printers go as high as 81 lpi and higher

KIDS Cover the 90s yes!

I used Ultra Seps Color Separation- should be able to google it and find it- I don’t have a link

He said plastisol, but I want to know if you can do that for water based also

@@just_me_marla7310 I done it with water based ink, but not wet on wet.

Dunno if you found out yet but in photoshop you can go to the channels section next to the layers panel and then select the CMYK positives. Save those channels separately and make sure you add a half tone gradient to each otherwise shadows and highlights don't show well, after that you should have 4 positives for CMYK for printing

Louie joe Sellado he says wet on wet, so yes. flash the underbase, but for the CMYK just print the wet ink on top of the other colors without flashing

Yes! We used to use HP printers..then moved to epson. HP works too so i am sure other brands will work as well.

Jowfe Studio not yes but I will make one

* unQuestionable TV * I will do a video on that this weekend... are you using channels?

Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts I personally have been using Illustrator, working only in vector separations using spot colors. We’re looking into the potential of using either photoshop or illustrator to print full CMYK process separations. We’d be able to drastically increase our offerings, as currently if someone wants a CMYK image, we have to sublimate it on a 100% Polyester, White garment, only at sizes 8.5” x 11” max.

The Original can be separate in Photoshop or Coreldraw......

Ok and can you make a video of film positibe seperation in coreldraw because i am using coreldraw so

I am also screenprinter so pleasr help me sir

The Original can be separate in Photoshop or Coreldraw...... There have "tons" of video in YT about separate in CMYK...

No not really- to be able to print cmyk the dots have to land in the right spot on an even plane- and a halftone under base would throw it off I believe

amarillablues dark and light garments

Christian Oliquino yes you do while registering screens

85fatboi just regular plastisol ink

I only use the exposure unit from ryonet as a light table....We use an led exposure unit- the old ryonet exposure unit we converted to a light table to line the screens up before we burn them....Have you tried an exposure calculator?

Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts No I haven't try the calculator. How about the angle and LPI I use is it ok for the 230 mesh or should I use 305

Ivan Ramos for manual printing- i use 45l lpi for halftones...the 55 lpi may be to small for the exposure unit your using...what kind of emulsion?

Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts it's aquasol hvp Pre-sensitized sbq photopolymer It's from Murakami screen This emulsion was given to me.

Ivan Ramos hmmm...I think diazo emulsion holds better halftones than photopolymer...you might ask murmaki if that emulsion can hold 55 or 45 lpi...

Adam Chris the platen we are using in this video is 14 wide x 22 tall- which i like to use because we can print youth small- adult 4xl...

you can try subtracting the black, everything black in your image can be the black of the shirt

Sure is. Are you going to print on white hoodies?

I’ll make a video on that

@@LearnHowToScreenPrint Did you ever end up making a video on this?

We used dual cure emulsion. The dual cure gives us a better resolution when printing 55 lpi

I order from GSG

Daniel Mullins Yes it does look like it peaks out here and there- we will re-burn the screens before we print the order and choke the white underbase a pixel or two to get rid of the fringes.

Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts ok understood. That probably happened from dot gain on the underbase you think? Just curious for my own purposes. Thanks for the help.

Daniel Mullins - I don’t think it would be dot gain...we only printed 10 or so shirts so we shouldn’t of had a problem with dot gain after only doing that many shirts-....

@@LearnHowToScreenPrint are you supposed to choke the white underbase by 2 px before you put it through the cmyk/halftone process or after ?

Can you explain the process how to choke the artwork for just the white underbase? Thanks again for the video.

Efraim Juaton we used ultraseps

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fyp7jOkKVW4.html

Chris Els maybe 35 lpi halftimes...which are bigger cartoonish dots

Sure can. We used to print water base as the underbase....then print plastisol on top...

Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts you know how many ppl I asked this same question and they had no clue, you are the man, thanks a lot, keep doing what you doing. You have my subscription 👍🏽

@@LearnHowToScreenPrint Thanks for the video. If you used waterbase as the underbase what Mesh and lpi would you use?

GothicFlex hey thanks for watching and commenting! We used wilflex cmyk true process plastisol inks in this video- what state are you in?

georgia!

I didn't use any paper... this is printed on textile. We used waterproof ink film for the positives.

Thank you for your reply

Firman Wira I don’t know about process rubber inks. I am pretty sure waterbase inks will work- although you might have to lay down a discharge base if your printing on dark colors. If it’s a white or lighter color shirt you should be able to with water base inks if the ink manufacturer makes true process colors.

Learn How To Screen Print T-shirts oh i see, maybe it just use different mesh size, thank you so much

Firman Wira hey no problem! Good luck!

Marzia Rahman hey thanks for watching and commenting! The second step- flash dryer is the dry the top layer of ink enough to lay down another coat- so the ink is opaque and holds enough color that the t-shirt color can’t be seen through the ink- and drying on layer of ink is sometimes necessary to lay another color on top or by that layer...so they don’t smear and the design stays crisp.

the third step?

Marzia Rahman third step was the conveyor for the final cure- to “permanently set” the ink-

W E the different colors- which are yellow and white mesh- help with the burning- or exposing the screens- the yellow mesh- helps with not letting light refract around the mesh while exposing. So you are supposed to be able to hold halftones better- thank you for watching!

FlintRedstone hi- we use Chromaline udc-2 emulsion- our exposure time is 80 seconds on a Vastex LED exposure unit.

Shahdaab Tumbi we used water base pallet adhesive

We used process plastisol ink....true process cmyk plastisol ink.

Josue Alfonso Eslava we used ultra seps software plugins inside photoshop

I did the seps at the end of the video-

He did say plastisol.

Good memory! With CMYK printing you have to use a 305 but that is the only time I use them.

Every time I said YMCK I though of that some too..

Rodo Wood not typically no. The CMYK ink sets & process act like a color wheel... literally. The colors are specific to create other colors when layered. Different than spot color. U can try it but it will come out differently... maybe that’s what you’re going for... idk. But for an image to come out CMYK as intended pulling in all the colors, no. Lots of variables: type type, opacity of the ink, CMYK, autoline, maxopake, water base or plastisol, additives (if needed using a different ink), etc. best of luck to u. Hope that helps. 😄

Adobe Photoshop can do this

I mean the plugin of photoshop
