let me just say, you saved my life. So many "experts" and "screen printing gurus" on the net danced around this, didn't get to the point and recommended some super spenny software.

You got straight to it, thank you so, so much!

This was brilliant! Thank you! Before stumbling on this video I had spent hours watching long complicated videos, which I didn't get all the way through because it was either too much or not enough details. I guess I just needed a sister woman to explain it.😊 This was short and right to the point, and you explained it perfectly! Thank you!

Best tutorial for this I have seen in 10 years.

Concise and to the point. Excellent pacing. Iconic.

Every time I go through this process I always watch somebody do it on YouTube and your video honestly was so quick and easy. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Quite an old video, but the clearest and most straightforward explanation I’ve found. Deserves many more views. Particularly liked the use of PS Essentials. Thanks very much.

Nice video. Do you need to add registration marks to align the images when screen printing? Also, what order do you print the different colors?

[sweetthaiwilly]

This is the only video I could find that explains this process and you did it perfectly! Thanks

Hi. So this example would use 4 screens right? What if I have an image that’s only blues and whites. Is there any way to reduce the number of screens I’d use in that instance. Do I still need the 4 separations? Thanks for the amazing tutorial by the way!

When actually doing the final screen print in this case, will the bottom most layer be black (as in the one printed first) or the top most (the one printed last)? Or will it not make a difference at all due to the angling of the dots?

[mackenziewoods]

Gimp has a filter called Newsprint (filter->distorts->newsprint) and it can split all the colors, but only to a single layer so you need to magic wand select each color and create seperate layers

Thanks so much I really needed this explained in a clearer way as a first timer for printing
