Converting Full Color Vector Art To Halftones

Post by Catspit Productions »

I had to do a rush order print job for an old customer of mine last week. I don’t print commercially anymore since I am a supplier for the industry but now and then a customer from the past calls me and needs a fix. I can’t say no although I do let them know I am no longer printing commercially. So I had to convert a 3 color spot color print into a 1 color halftone for some royal blue sleeved baseball jerseys. This video shows you a very quick way to convert full color vector graphics into a grayscale so you can very easily print out halftone film positives. This is a brief summary and only brushes on the surface of this method as I’m sure there are many ways of doing it. But this one should be relatively painless and easy to do. Much easier than Photoshop in my opinion. Follow along as we convert spot colors into halftones for screenprinting tee shirts.
