Screen Printing Tee Shirts: How To Create The Best Spot Color Film Positives

This is a remake of a very old video about how to make film positives at home. You can watch that original video here:
• How To Screen Print: M...
That was a version focusing on a few home brew methods to making film positives for screen printing tee shirts. This new and improved video is packed with more detailed info on how we would do this in a more professional manner. Here you will learn about different types of film positives, printing without RIP software for spot colors and color rich blacks. This tutorial video brings you from computer to printed film positive with tips for the beginner as well as the experienced screen printer. When we deal with basic spot color art we can do a few things in order to make the standard Epson inkjet printer with all color inks print a much better film positive. This is for when we do not use RIP software and print directly from our vector software to the inkjet printer. With the tips I share in this video you will be making the absolute best film positives without RIP and without all black ink systems of any kind.
Just a side note: The Epson 1400 actually has dye inks even though it should have had pigment for the photographic market. Evidently the Claria inks are dye and the Durabrite are all pigment.

I have been following your videos for almost 4 years now, mostly because it's entertaining to see the process, this past month some things worked oddly and as a result I have my own screen printing press. Finally all those years of passive listening are going to pay off! Thanks! You are the best at explaining hows and whys.

That CMYK trick has saved me from buying a continuous ink system for my Epson 1400. I saw this video sometime back but I couldn't remember how you got the printer to print all the colors at the same time. I needed a refresher and I easily found this video where you explain it. Thank you for THE best screen printing videos on KZfaq! I couldn't create the work that I do without you!

I have always had to print two transparencies because the image wouldn't come out dark enough and in turn wouldn't burn as well... I had no idea the black on Illustrator wasn't a pure black until you changed all CMYK to 100%... absolutely blew my mind! Thank you for that small yet hugely game changing nugget of information! I just got started on screen printing... doing everything on a very low budget old school way, however your videos have helped me so much along the way. I appreciate it more than you know!

Love all your videos and they are really helpful. I've got some questions: 1. I'm deciding which of these printers for starting out. One with 4 CMYK color ink tanks and the other with 6 CMYK LC LM color ink tanks. Are the extra 2 inks significant in screen printing or just CMYK will do? 2. For all black inks, do I literally fill in all CMYK tanks with black inks? with original black epson pigment ink?

@CatspitProductions 7 жыл бұрын

Hi! I was wondering if there is a specific type of waterproof ink jet film positives to use? Is there any that are better than others? thanks for the information.

@ucandoooit4216 6 жыл бұрын

Straight forward and easy to understand video, Thanks!!! There is one thing I am confused about. I hear others on this darn internet machine say you cannot get as black or as high of quality without the BlackMax system or other all black ink systems. Does the 1430 lay down more ink with a black ink system or is the ink in the black ink systems different? Preferably I am wanting to keep the function of the 1430 to print amazing photos. Would 10-15 positives a week justify an all black system? (I think you already answered that in the video) but will half tones come out better with an all black ink system? Will RIP software perform any different with the black ink system? thanks for everything you do!!!!!!!

@CatspitProductions 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. You're welcome. I don't think that is necessarily the case. There are many ways to produce an excellent film positive and other RIP software out there as well as dye based inkjet inks. That product is simply the most advertised and pushed online. As in the case of the Yudu, marketing can often make a product popular regardless of its performance. I'm sure it works fine, I'm simply pointing out the power of marketing. That includes online reviews. Usually any RIP software will lay down a bit more black ink than normal but none of them use all the print heads simultaneously. But if the product claims to block UV light then density is a non issue. It could in theory be clear if it filters UV light out. But for halftones you need RIP software anyway. Thanks for watching!

Hi CatSpit! When you set everything to 100% CMYK and print directly from Illustrator, does it actually use all ink cartridges or just black to print? Can you confirm? Thanks!

@CatspitProductions 6 жыл бұрын

If you use a 100% CMYK color rich black it will print all colors along with black. That's what makes it much darker and more dense. But you cannot use this trick with RIP software as it will try to separate the CMYK in the color rich black. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

Do I really need a RIP software to print on film positives? Also, is it required that I purchase Film positive ink or can I just use the black ink that goes with the Epson 1430?

@CatspitProductions 7 жыл бұрын

Not unless you want to do halftones or color separations. You can use the standard inks in the printer. This video shows you how to do that in the best way without RIP. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

Hello Catspit. We love your videos and have learned a lot. Do you know where to purchase Vector Artwork templates? Such as for Family reunions, sport logos, for different occasions, etc?? It seems there is only Clipart software, not the Layout template like the Heat transfer websites offer? Thank you!

I really appreciate the videos you make and they have been very helpful. However, I am stumped on getting a good solid opaque black on a screen positive. My printer doesn't have a setting for transparency. However, it will print fine on a transparency sheets that I bought called "Apollo" from Office Max. The only thing is i can see some light thru the black. I also set the image to CYMK color/8bits channel. Still no good. Ive spent over $100 on different types of transparency film. Im guessing I need to buy another printer. I looked up the Epson 1430 you show on your e commerce sight and it does not show to be able to print on transparency medium in the specs. Please help. Im stumped and going broke trying to figure this out.

just what i was searching on youtube. thank you so much. btw, i have a question, i just have black ink in my printer... there's any way that I can do it just with that? I tried and print but the black is almost translucent even though I set the printer with the best quality. I ask this because the inks for my printer are really expensive (canon pixma pro 100) ... so maybe is more convenient to go to some place to get them done. thank you so much for the information!

@CatspitProductions 3 жыл бұрын

You're welcome, glad I could help out. You can give it a try. But I'm not sure about how. If the printer has all black cartridges then you must have RIP or something.

I've returned to your video again. What if you have one or two different spot colours....do you still set the cmyk to 100% for each colour and do you set the artwork up with each layer having just one spot colour?

@CatspitProductions 5 жыл бұрын

If you mean you are doing a 2 color then you have to put the colors on different layers and convert them to CMYK. That is a manual separation basically. You'll need to add another layer and create your registration marks. Then print visible layers to get each film. Thanks for watching!
