Photoshop For Screen Printing - Halftones

This week, we cover the glorious multiverse of halftones. First, we demonstrate how halftones can make your one-color image look like a two-color, and then we show you how to take a photograph and turn it into a burnable one-color image.

Just found this 8 years later and if I didn't see your face I would think that fat Mike was showing me how to use Photoshop. Awesome stuff thank you

[@AncienRegimeStudios]

Exactly what I was looking for! Concise, to the point, eloquent. Thanks a million.

[@Lovelightlightlove]

i think you're the only printers/suppliers not selling snake oil. props for that.

[@christophersoprano-sculptor]

I greatly appreciate the techniques.
Looking forward to the seeing a similar technique for multiple colors.
I'm trying to make my own separations for a photo I took which I plan to print on shirts.

[@MrKidQueso]

I’m out of the loop with the newer technology. The last time I printed on fabric/paper/canvas was 30-ish years ago. I will be using a Printa 770 to produce some prints. Text on handkerchiefs as a wedding give away/gift. I’m glad to have seen this video on halftones. 😊

Wow! Good stuff. Helpful. Thanks!

[@SpeedHero]

okay, I learned a new thing today. Thanks!

[@ramansomarajan]

Thank you Bro. simple and but much elaborated. very useful

[@thomasherman79]

As a helpful note, instead of making a new file for the layer you can "convert to smart object" when u right click the layer, then double click this to open in a new tab.

[@josetejeda76]

Thank You, This is great !

[@MrWhisperASMR]

Great video, helped a lot.

[@stephanielisenby5743]

Great video! 🙏🏼 thank you

[@ScreenPrintR]

Would love to see the Film you printed for this, and what type of printer. Also will you be making a screen with this project?

[@irongodsfitness]

Dude, this is a great video!!! I've been trying forever to make halftones in photoshop. THANK YOU!!! You're video was straight to the point and easy to grasp even for a novice like me. One question, does this method work the same in CS5?

[@michellevictor2123]

That was very helpful, thank you :)

[@gaurisarda9201]

Hi,
I found this video extremely helpful. Thanks for making this. I just wanted to check if you would know how to make sections while making halftone and then have lines at different angles in the same pic. Look forward to your comments. Thanks

[@linopierre6395]

god send...thanks a million

[@redtigerfilms6229]

Thanks, Bro You Are A Rockstar

[@LongviewGarage]

Awesome video! I use CorelDraw but this is cool to learn about the other graphic software.

[@JPEG2099]

Thx for the vids!

[@mdamdadulhoque4158]

Very helpful video, Thanks.

[@lilugly]

If bit mapping is grey out, make sure you're not changing the layer's level but the whole image's level. Image->Adjustments->Levels or CTRL+L

[@florianfarber4323]

thank you for this!

[@djkirkdigglerusn5476]

Yeah bra that trick was cool. Thanks I needed that :)

[@jimmyxrose]

[@pkallmixthings9507]

Thank you so much 😍😍😍

[@minamahalkita9459]

Hi!, Thanks for the tutorial, I want to ask if my screen size will be a3, how much will be the image resolution and the lpi?

[@verachng2274]

thanks! really useful ^^

[@zarakikenpachi1773]

Hey, nice video mate. I would like to ask just one thing. After you add halftone to the image, do you simply take out a positive print or do we need to first do a color selection and remove the whites and only keep the blacks?

[@shortbushero1361]

thanks that was the easiest explanation i have seen good job

[@nicol4891]

very helpful. thank you

[@derickdoveglass]

Thank you !!

[@johnnyswatts]

Thank you for your super clear explanation. Now I've got my colour separations down and halftoned!

[@nar-aryanalakanta1464]

thank you!

[@sabsignage4236]

great bro..... Thank You for helping...... Good job.

[@DreamNoTomorrow]

Good stuff!

[@printsgalore]

I've found ellipse works better replicating the smooth change in tonal ranges. So I use it a lot in photography printing, but not graphics.

[@FREDFILHOFOTOS]

very good man!

[@Xerenthiu]

THANKS!!!!

[@luciq1007]

Hi! I'm new to screenprinting and stumbled across your page. Do you have a video about doing a 4 color separation with a white underbase for dark or colored shirts?

[@handlebranding8356]

Thanks man.

[@danoates8858]

thanks brotha!

[@DraoPedro]

Thanks!

[@nurhadigmbul]

thank you so much :)

[@losmoney82]

great vid! how would you go about taking that dotted image of tim and bringing it up in illustrator to say add some line work to it, thanks!!

[@thesouldigger1]

Very Nice!

[@whojahbless1560]

I do silkscreening. But I've never done color separation. Or try designing
Like they say never too late
Thanks for the video.

[@ammarkhelouda4440]

thank you very mutch....

[@nathaliemoore1967]

such a simple tutorial x :-)

[@rinkushah5205]

if you show also the screen print results with this setup it would help us

[@udomthongpradit4126]

Thank

[@FearlessBoyz]

Wonderful video

[@dailyhabitz]

Did you technically "upsample" the giants photo from a 100dpi to 900dpi?? Just curious since in theory that would cause some relative distortion to the image even though I didnt notice any in the video. Ive just always thought that the source file needs to be "started" with a high dpi in order to maintain good resolution vs upsample the image to larger dpi than it was originally created in. Thanks for the video by the way!

[@Gunbei2]

How well an image holds up when upsampling depends on the particular photograph and quality of the image to begin with. An original image with a "decent" resolution is optimal, but the quality of the photograph or art has to be good as well.

[@andalingtanjung8835]

thankkyou

[@luiscarlosbarragan]

Thaaaanks.

[@nineoneoh]

great video

[@lilthee713]

quick question. for you. if I fade the image like in a round format would I still get some good dots for the image to be printed.

[@innovativethoughts]

Thank you, I like you video

[@technovan1133]

thank you buddy for share

[@ryanthorsen3732]

Do you have a tutorial for screen printing half tone gradients? I’m trying to blend out colors like you would with water color.

[@mariopm32]

Thanks.

[@Greywolfgrafix]

Thanks for the reply. 22.5 degrees for a single color halftone, with 45 frequency for a mesh count of 225 or higher. Now, I've got to find the higher mesh count. Blick has their multifillament and monofillament screen mesh sizes indicated with numbers such as 110xx, etc. This has me completely lost. I don't know what the mesh count actually is with these numbers.

[@marinanacamuli2395]

Hey John, how are u? Thank you so much for your tutorial.. I'm having trouble to save it and post it online. Can you help me?

[@oscardeee]

Hey Sean, after i finish the process in photoshop i just print it directly in PS to the acetat paper and that will do?

[@ninoreycena6832]

How to prepare a lay out for 3 color and print it on shirt beautifully ? Thank you

[@viper18gt]

I see you added res during your process. When I did my original image was to small going from 94 res to 300 made is super pixilated, is there any video's or suggestions in how to Crispin the image once I add res and enlarge it with CS6?
