bret2973 0 Posted September 26, 2012 so is it something I can do in Corel draw? photoshop? unsure how to get it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mopar691 281 Posted September 26, 2012 Its called a halftone. Can either be processed in a rip (preferred method and much better output) or created in photoshop (does a half ass job on one color productions like this and requires alot of steps. Can also be done in AI with specific fills and such. What programs are you using and I can be a bit more detailed on how to achieve this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mopar691 281 Posted September 26, 2012 And are you screening? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bret2973 0 Posted September 28, 2012 well I will be heat pressing and I use corel draw for the most part but have photoshop as well, the customer wants to keep it as it is thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mopar691 281 Posted September 28, 2012 Do not know how to help you in Corel. And ish ish ish for half-toning that in a heat press. It will be nowhere near the same effect if you can even get it to cut and weed properly. One dot lifted or out of place will just not look good and they will be tiny so getting them to stay adhered to the garment after about 2 washes will be tough. If you need the half-tone outsource it to a screen printer. That is the best advise I can give you and about the only way this can be done properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bret2973 0 Posted September 29, 2012 well I will be outsourcing the design to have them screen printed on paper and then heat pressed on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jay2703 704 Posted September 29, 2012 Here is my attempt to do this with the new Sure Cuts a Lot software that USCutter is selling. I created the & symbol. Created a large shadow and moved it to offset it Created a smaller shadow subtracted the smaller shadow from the offset one Used the Rhinesotne function on the shadow to create a Half Tone effect You could play around with the stone sizes and spacing to get the effect you like Then scale it to what you need http://screencast.com/t/hN7HhrXexF4N Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
