I appreciate the fact that you are sharing this knowledge with us. I'm a graphic designer and illustrator and this is valuable information for me. Thank you so much, I enjoy a lot watching your videos. God bless.
Thanks, Jonathan! Anything to help out the screen print community.
Great tutorial!!! I had to stop ptinting, sat down and took out my notepad because this is priceless. So many things I didn't know you could do in photoshop.Thank you for taking your time to share this. You're the man!!!
Any time! I'm glad the video has helped. :)
Taino Ink Im still kinda lost.. your videos are simple (the choke the under base video) these are a lot of steps for a beginner. Also I did not know you can print RGB. I thought it was only spot colors and CMYK printing.
Can’t you just spot color only the colors that are in the design? And choke the under base? For example.. if my design consists of 3 colors white, green and orange can’t I just used these colors with the same steps?

@@embassykingdomapparel5525 With a simple spot color separation, I would go this route. ua-cam.com/video/hj-CanG2tQo/v-deo.html
Make a selection based off of your art, and spread the top colors by 1-2 pixels. If it has some really fine lines that a spread would close up, then choke the under base 1 pixel. I hope this helps.
I'm new to Screen printing, your outta the world Mike...thank you for being you...you are appreciated Mike

Any time!
Thank you Matt, this is really helpful. Greetings from other side of the world
Hi Kris, that's awesome!!! I'm glad it helped.
Very informative this is really great. Thank you so much for the videos I'm really learning a lot about simulated process designing, separtion, and screen printing from your channel.
Thank you!!! I'm glad you're learning a lot. More videos to come!
This is awesome...even better it my art. How cool! Thanks Matt!!!
Thanks Dave! We hope you're doing well and keep the awesome art coming!
THIS IS AWESOME! learned a LOT today man!
FELMAR MANRIQUE awesome! Glad it helped.

Thank you!!!
Awesome!!! Matt thanks for sharing..
Thanks, Joe!
Greetings from Switzerland, and many thanks for the great video and your work.
You have answered many questions. That’s very helpful.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge - much appreciated 👍
Any time! Thanks for watching.
Dude you're the best!!
Thanks!
GREAT VIDEO
Thank you, Tim!!!!
Thanks, a brother for sharing your talent, I learn a lot I hope that you continued to share your talent, actually I planning to make business in the Philippines after my contract here in Qatar
That's great to hear! Well feel free to browse our videos. I hope they help and thank you!
I work with conventional separation like CMYK+pantones for flexo and litho prints and I was very curious how will you do separation this unique way. I'll watch your tutorial several times for sure. Thanks for that!!! :D
Thank you! I used to prepare a lot of flexo art for my previous employer... compensating for gain, adjusting the height of the art by a percentage for gain as well. Flexo is definitely an art form. I'm sure you'll get this down too. Thanks for watching!
Nice video, i will have to try with my manual. 👍
Thanks! Give it a shot and see how it comes out. Even if it's a 4 color job to get started.
You’re the best my freand 👍
:)
Great video
Thanks!
WOOOOW! You are the MAN! Very helpful video! I’m just getting into this and you broke it all down perfectly! I smashed the ‘Like’ and ‘Subscribe’! Ha. I’m a Believer of ya! Thanks a Bunch!
Awesome, thank you!
Wow so nice.
Thanks!
You are tooooo advanced
You can do it!
Thank you so much for all the separation tutorials, you’re a life saver. Couple of questions. Do you use a specific spot color ink? Why not go with cmyk method? I have a 6 color press but tough time knowing which spot color to use for color range. Please advise which standard color range I should go with. Thank you Mikey.
Any time! We just use basic off the shelf colors. CMYK is very difficult to keep consistent and requires flashing more with a white base. Spot process will be a lot easier and more consistent.
Hey Matt, thank you so much for all your videos! I've been learning so much and it made a huge difference in my work.
I have a question/Comment: I am surprised to see you play with the solidity of the color, because I have been thought that it won't change anything on your film this is only for what you see in your computer screen. So if you're doing it, I imagine it does have an impact on your film?
Thank you for your time!
Hey Marie. You're absolutely correct about that. Doesn't really matter at all on film. I can play however on squeegee pressure. White we're generally wanting a pretty firm print. How bright or light the color ink is can vary with squeegee pressure. Not near as much as playing with solidity. But it at least it gives you an idea of if I hit it hard, these are the results. If I'm barely kissing the screen and garment, this is what I'll get. If that makes sense.
Wow. Just wow. Stumbled onto this video and it’s mesmerizing to watch the shirt come together. I don’t have a clue what most of what you’re saying means but it was fascinating to watch. I’ll never look at a tshirt the same way again- hadn’t a clues that such artistry was possible with screen printing! A quick question- how many shirts do you need to run to make such an intricate design profitable? Just curious. Oh, and that movie is one of my grandson’s and my favorite movies! Is it possible to purchase one of these shirts for him? I know the video is 2 years old but just checking anyway ;-) you truly are an artist with ink!
Thank you! We base the price on time. From the email, to creating screens, setup, supply cost, shirt cost, until it's out the door. We also have to factor in communication time, shipping... Really takes a lot of time studies, keep track of monthly costs, what we need to make a living plus profit.
Hello. Great work as always. One question. In one of your live tutorials when creating the white base you selected the RGB channel but in this video you compared the red, blue and green channel to choose the best one to create the white base. So id like to know if there is a reason why the difference. Thanks and Keep up the good work ! Mikey Designs & Silk Screen to the top!
Either method works great. For the most part we use RGB. Thanks!!!
This is an awesome tutorial! Ive used sep studio for the 3 years ive been printing but I need more control now. Im curious, when you created the t shirt channel how did you make it black ? I cant figure this out for the life of me, mine shows up white. Any help is appreciated.
Check out ActionSeps.com, cause I felt that way too. It's software I've created which uses actions in Photoshop to quickly separate the art, then you can fine tune it in Photoshop.
thank you for everything.
do you have on site training? you could be a very cool teacher
Thank you! Yes I do. Email us at info@mikeydesigns.com
Great video, but I have a problem when I finish all the settings and the design look ok and separate the channels the white base it does not cover all the areas with colors this is correct?.
Continue with these tutorials are greats, greetings from Mexico
And excuse my grammar my English is basic.
I'll keep them coming. As long as your image looks like the original, or as close as you can get to it, it should work just fine. Just keep tweaking and you'll get there. Try using the RGB channel for your white base as an option. Many ways to create the white base. Just hold Command, or Control down for a PC, and click the RGB layer. See if that helps.
Hi Mike, very nice tutorial. what screen mesh you use for this process?
Thank you. 230 for all screens.
I make my white HL the exact same way💪
Great minds think alike
Thanks for sharing such a great video. By the way, is it possible to print your positives right down from photoshop after separation?
You can print it straight from photoshop with a RIP software. You'll just need to add your registration marks to each channel.
Thanks!!!
thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! i gotta ask, why does the file need to be in RBG over CMYK like when using illustrator to color sep?
Any time! With RGB, as you may know, is monitor colors and CMYK is for process printing. When you convert to CMYK you lose colors. Screen printing inks are more vibrant than traditional CMYK printing, so you can more closely replicate those colors. If that makes sense.
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 is this why you've done color seps w/ complex images in photoshop? ALSO what would be the best way to save file to then send to shop that asked for it?
Hi. Thanks again for the tutorials I love your work. Can you explain the solidity part at 17:00. I may have missed the why part.
It's really just an on screen representation of how intense the colors are.
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 Thank you! I'm still watching and learning.
I followed your video and got it to print through Black Pearl but, I'm missing some of my screen color information and my highlight film didn't print. I checked and it is a spot color. Thanks for the videos. These are great!
Awesome! I'm glad they're helping.
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 Do you have any idea why the highlight film was missing?
So at the end your talking about the ink build up on the back of the screen and how it’s important. Can you explain this a little and does it get to a point you need to wipe it off?
You don't have to wipe it off. If you did, the prints would get lite. The key is to use higher mesh count screens so it's only putting down enough ink.
Hey Matt, I’m switching up on emulsion; what emulsion are you using
Hey Karen! I like to use Ulano TZ.
Once again, solid work, good job. If I were the boss around there we'd be having a morning meeting about good screen cleaning practices... Have you had to price that rubber out yet? 38:40 ;)
Thank you!!! LOL, I tend to clean them pretty well. Let's just say our past screen reclaimers haven't done as good of a job. It was replace a few years ago because of a tare.
Yeah, I hear ya, I've seen many that look exactly like yours...lol Keep up the good work!
@@nunyabidnit937 LOL! Thanks!
sir can you make a video on how to spray the mesh in halftones?? i really want to learn on how to do it... i have been practicing halftones and my emulsion collapsing... damage during spray...
Take a look at our video how to screen print spot process step by step. We have a segment in there on how to rinse out halftones.
Hello i am from India and I also screen print in india
Hello! That's awesome.
good day sir... im newbie in screen printing... may ask if "it is always" simulated process be in halftone?? or you dont need to do it...
Halftones are a huge part of simulated process. We also do spot color jobs that have halftones to create a gradient.
What was the tape for you used on the shirt side of the s teen?
It's PMI's Quick Rip Tape. amzn.to/2BhHIUa Thanks for watching!
classic age old question.. what's the emulsion you're using?
Just recently switched mine up, went from 5 minutes (Ryonet Dual Cure) to 35 seconds (Murakami T9) all to a T given the exposure test. Even went out and ran about two dozen other screens messing w/ exposure time and I'm still having no luck! Cannot for the life of me wash out halftones without blowing a section out. I washout in the shop, use a hose attachment, similar to yours. No UV other than my bulb exposure unit and occasional garage door light leaks. Not a vacuum unit, but it's worked for about a decade in other jobs. Any ideas on my issue?!
*edit* I'm not observant, apparently. Emulsion is the first thing in the description, yikes. Regardless, any tips on my situation is still greatly appreciated!? :)
@@Tyler-216 Make sure your films are nice and dense. You should see very little, to no light through the film. You could print out square to test the density. Be sure you are getting good contact with the film and the screen. Aside from that, could be the emulsion, too long, or not long enough of an exposure time. A exposure calculator will help you dial it in. It's a strip with varying grays / blacks and you should be achieving a 7 holdout on the strip. I think the TZ emulsion will help get you closer because it is very forgiving. I hope this helps.
When a customer brings you a piece of artwork how do you decide if it will look better printed with cmyk or like this?
99% of the time we will print with simulated process. CMYK is a lot more difficult to dial in and takes more time. So we'll charge more if they're requesting a CMYK print.
Question. In the video you did with the deadpool separation you expanded by 1 for the white base but in this one you did not. In what situations would expand the white base and in what cases would I not? Your videos are sooooooo detailed and I've learned a ton. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Whenever you need a little spread so the white base doesn't peak out. Thank for watching!
Ohhhh makes sense thanks
@@that1artchick Generally, you want to expand your colors by 1, and keep the white base and top color as a standard selection. :)
Interested in why you choose different emulsions for different jobs? Thanks for your time. Another great vid as always!
@@a-bombx Thank you! The TZ emulsion holds better halftones vs a photopolymer emulsion.
Hi there! What if we don't have the AccuRIP? How can we print those channels? Thank you!
If you don't have AccuRIP then you could manually create the halftones. Check out this video here. ua-cam.com/video/HnTCgdNGOB4/v-deo.html I'll post a video soon about this subject.
Can u make a video using just a random picture on the internet so we can follow ure steps using a same picture like a difficult logo to make like this one spot process
Certainly! Do you want to choose it?
I think u should choose something u can find that is a little complicated so we can follow I will and sure the rest of class will learn more that way 😁🙏 thank u for considering my suggestion
@@vanessarincon483 Any time! I'm going to try and get that up tonight.
Which program is better for separating artwork? Photoshop or Illustrator?
They are both great. My go to is Illustrator if I could only choose one, but I use both.
By popular demand, how to manually separate spot simulated process and the print results... step by step. Enjoy!
For special requests, leave a comment below...
Hey man. Great videos! What would the settings be I'd I printed directly from photoshop for each color. I.E. the frequency and the angle. Cheers, keep up the great work.
@@okgdesignandcustomscreenpr1009 Thank you! I would set it to 300 dpi, 22.5º angle, round dot (or your preference). Cheers!!!
What would the frequency be sir?
@@okgdesignandcustomscreenpr1009 22.5º at 45 lpi for the particular job.
what type of t-shirt quality do you use please share
All types really. Depends on the customers budget.
I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of tools and tricks and who knows what else by not having photoshop. I thought screenprinting was hard , isn’t this more of a “illustrator” or designer work your doing on photoshop?
I chose to watch this for an hr over doing laundry 😂🤘🏾
LOL! Awesome! Photoshop and Illustrator is definitely worth it. We use it for both design work and separations.
Photoshop's good for halftones, Illustrators good for spot colours. One's a screwdriver, ones a hammer.
@@nunyabidnit937 With a RIP software, they'll both give you good halftones. One is a vector program and the other is pixel based. Vector is basically a mathematical software that allows you to scale your art to the size of a build and still retain great detail.
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 yeah I don't use a rip
@@nunyabidnit937 In that case photoshop would be better.
how do you know what % levels to set your colors at ??
To be honest, it's not that big of a deal. It more for on screen. What actually comes out as film will generally be on point. A good starting point is around 15%.
People who dislike this video forgot to press ctrl+D
Right!!!Q
do you need to put into halftone the simulated process??
You will definitely need to use halftones to be able to expose the art into the screen.
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 thank you very much sir.
Please any numbers on each screen
good afternoon Mickey
I accompany you here from Brazil.
What is the minimum quantity that can be run on this equipment?
worth for orders of 100 t-shirts?
how long to hit the record?
You could print as many and or as few as you would like. You just have to consider whether you're making money plus profit for the time and materials put into the job.
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 What is the setup time of 6 screens?
@@camisetascuritiba3441 For me it takes about 40 minutes between setup, running test prints, and being ready to go.
what is the difference between wet on wet and letting it dry between each color?
Wet on wet is faster because you don't have to spend time running it under the flash. Therefor you make more per hour on press.
@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 makes sense but doesn't it create issues with wet paint mixing on the shirt and on the back of the screen? Sounds messy, that's why I asked.
@@shoeengine1161 Not at all. What it does is allows the ink to mix creating new colors. You use a high mesh so you're not putting down a lot of ink. Think of it like a stamp.
what size of your paper plss A4 or A3? ty
13x19. It's a little bigger than A2.
Does any body know why my channels name is gray when I select split channels? Thanks in advance
Which software?
