Is it you just like doing vector better? I only do t-shirts for my living and everythign I do is all done in photoshop....WITH THE EXCEPTION of my lettering. I do it is illy only because is the sharp/hard edges don't get rounded off like the do in photoshop when you stroke them and it stays a little crisper.


Graffixman,

The reason being, most screen printers out there have difficulties separating colors. The first time I did it, the screen printer printed eight screens and it came out crappy and thick! I do not seek printers, I leave it up to clients. Is there a way to separate colors in PS for screen printers? Do you do it in channels or separate using spot colors?


EDIT: This is what I found...http://www.teedesign.com/Technical_I...Separation.htm

Are these the basics? Is there a step by step?
