Screenprinting Art: How To Use The Registration Swatch

Post by Catspit Productions »

This is a very simple explanation of the registration swatch in Illustrator. In this follow up tutorial I show you how to use the swatches tab in the same layers window I pointed out last time. This video was inspired by Matt from Mikey Designs on Facebook who left some comments about this function. It’s a cool way to make any custom registration mark print from one layer to all the film positive separations. Follow along as we take a look at this and you’ll even hear a bit about host separations and RIP separations. I explain some about printing a separation out form one layer with a multi-color piece of art. Hold on cowboy, take it step by step. I’ll get to other more complicated artwork videos after we cover some basics. I’ll be doing some Catspit printing which will serve the purpose for the video ;) I hope you enjoy this vector art instructional. Thanks for watching and please make sure to subscribe.
