How To Line Up Film Positives On Screens

Post by Catspit Productions »

This is another screenprinting educational video that has been requested many times in the past. If you know about screen printing tee shirts then you know that for each color printed we need a film positive and a screen. This tutorial video demonstrates and explains 2 different methods to setting up your film positives on a multi-color print job. Here you will learn ways to get each film positive for each different color on the screens in relatively the same location. That will make it much easier to line up the screens when setting up the print job and in fact it can make or break you on press. Where're not talking about rocket science here but we want the film positives to be placed on all the screens for that job in the same location without much discrepancies. The first of these 2 methods is old school and a little slower. The second is a little faster but maybe not as precise. So follow Jonathan along as he shares his personal experiences with printing on presses without micro registration.
