skarekrow 1,842 Posted March 4, 2016 I did a bit when I was younger. These days I've been working with a few screen printers creating one-color Halftone files for Screening and producing Plastisol Transfers. (both raster and vector) Also, a good number of color seperation projects for spot and 4 color process. Been a real learning experience. Here's a detail from a mashup I did for some Trump Campaign Plastisol transfers tees. and "Nice (split fountain) gradient, Jay". (The caption reads, "Get Pumped with Trump!") 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LDR 0 Posted March 12, 2016 You definitely have good help. That sounds like a pain, but might be worth it in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
towman208 38 Posted March 13, 2016 Doesn't child labor laws come in to play here? Or are you paying them off in candy to keep them quiet? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpaperman 719 Posted March 13, 2016 Just got back from a trade show and watched a demo on a system. You design on computer.... send to printer (which actually makes the screen). Put screen in frame and use. When done, screen goes in the trash! Cost per screen/sheet is about 5 bucks. Seems to easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
