From art to print - color separation


Art is often designed from the ground up to respect the nature of screen printing. The art designer designs the art from the bottom up to produce color separations. However, when it comes to the more compex jobs that require mixing of colors and using halftones to achieve realism and color accuracy, it can be hard to produce the artwork you had in mind. Unfortunately, compromises are often made. Even high levels of expertise and experience don't allow for a direct conversion from the art you want on a shirt to the art you see on the shirt. If you'd like to know more about color separation and making life easier, read this article.
