Screen Printing: Fun Experimental 3 Color Halftone On Black T-Shirts

This is a fun experimental video using art from Mike Wrigley of Nameless City Apparel. He is a screen printing artist in the UK. He set up this very detailed 3 color halftone for dark garments. He specializes in horror themed artwork and usually works in water based and discharge inks. So this design was highly experimental in that we pushed the limits of what 3 screens can do. In doing so it was a very unusual print process and not something I would recommend for actual production. If you wanted to print this efficiently, we would have to add a couple of more screens. We might need 2 to 3 more. But this is a very cool example of how you can maximize creativity with a 2 color or 4 color press. It’s also a great example of on press creativity and how thinking outside the box can have wonderful results. Remember, in the end there is no wrong way to screen print if the print looks great. But with commercial printing we would want to be able to print a job as fast as possible because time is money. So never promise to print something like this on larger volume print orders. It will just simply be a major pain…LOL ;) I tried very hard to get some decent photos of this print to show in the video but I think it looks much better in person. The dot is crisp and clear at the top of the head and there is no discernible moiré pattern. Come along for a screen printing journey with Catspit Productions, LLC. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

😂😂 awesome! Hi all, it's Mike from Nameless City Apparel here. I'm really sorry this turned into so much work! Just to say to people that when we originally did this, the idea was to see how much we could push the envelope on a limited screen count. So I designed a 6 colour job and tried to separate it using only 3. The idea was to be able to print this with the standard Underbase, flash then red and yellow wet on wet with a final hit on the Catspit letters using the white screen again. Needless to say, it was way too ambitious! But thanks to Jonathan's creativity, he has really made this work, al be it in a way you would never want to print in production. But hopefully this will inspire some of you with only 4 colour presses, like me, to really expand your ideas of what sort of work you can do. Huge thanks to Jonathan for this, this is why Catspit is the best!
Hi Mike! Yes, we were trying to do a lot with this one for sure. No apologies necessary. We also have to consider this is plastisol ink and it seems your forte is water based and discharge. I had a customer in the shop this week that said this print looked like a water based ink print. But this is a lot of fun to play with I have to admit. I really enjoy printing it even though it's complicated. It feels more creative and artsy this way....LOL ;) I couldn't really print wet with these inks since the pick up was too much. But I'm still going to try to burn another set of screens and see if we can make it any easier to print. So I will experiment with that again. But I think the depth in this print is very cool and is a direct result of the unusual printing sequence. And Yes, I hope the video will help people get creative and max out their 2 color and 4 color presses with similar techniques. I love this video because it is a great example of of that. I'll be sending you a couple of the shirts for each set of screens I print with. I have 2 ready for you from this set of 305 screens now. I have to print the Bella freebies and then I'll come back to this. But yeah this design is very cool and everyone seems to love the end result a lot. That makes it all worth it. Thanks for watching!

This video was really helpful as Im trying to learn to make art prints of my illustrations in small runs of 100 or less and I need to be able to push each print as far as I can with the least # of screens
Hi Sam. I'm glad the video is useful to you. Happy to help out. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Had to see this again. Great job Johnathan. It's about the best detailed, even upclose ,print I have seen. No white bleed through.
Hi Stewart. Thanks! I love this print too. Probably one o my favorites now. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
You rock, brother! I love that you are not dogmatic and are willing to deviate what you know works and try something different. You are a true artist! Thanks again for all your helpful videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you brother! Yes, that's when it gets fun ;) You're welcome, glad I can help out. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
That print is simply the best. The details are really something.
Thank you! Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
I really like to see how you enjoy doing screen printing videos. If add all the hard work of screen printing, graphics, video editing, publishing, marketing, etc., you really have to make it for fun.
Great attitude, keep it up!
Yes, that's true. And I have been doing this for almost 9 or 10 years now. Consistently. I appreciate your support. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
I like the red and white you had with first two screens, it`s a good look.
Yeah I noticed that too. Printing a red under the white like that could be very cool just by itself. One could certainly design something for that ;) Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
beautiful print dude. nice work all round.
Thank you very much! Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Wow, cool, I'm sure I wanna try something like this now
Awesome, glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/

Really cool
Thank you! Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Cool design
Thank you. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Sounds like fun to do something different without a "client's" approval necessary. Turned out really cool looking!
Thank you! LOL... that's one of the best parts about being a supplier and not printing commercially any more ;) I really like the way it turned out. I tried to get some good shots of the print in video but I think it looks even better in person. The dots are clear and there is no moiré pattern. Thanks for watching!

beautiful treatment ..
Thank you! Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
CatspitProductions Being an artist who loves to screenprint, I must say this was a triple treat. Informative, artsy, and "laffy" 😆Tuff design! Thanks Guys
Awesome, thank you much! I'm very happy to know you enjoyed this video. Very cool :) My pleasure. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
Really wondering how you make artwork into various partial pieces that can be layered. I hope you've got a video for that. 😊
Thanks for this!
Check out my videos from my channel page. I have about 600 or more screen printing videos for you to watch for free. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Really needed me thank you so much. But what ink you use to print halftones in dark garments. Plastisol, waterbased or discharge
I used plastisol for this halftone video. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
I want one of these. :(
It's a very limited edition print ;) Have you subscribed to my RUclips channel? Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
Maybe I missed something but why would you only do this as a limited edition run? Such an awesome print, I'd love to do something like this.
Because it's too difficult to print like that really. It ended up taking about 4 minutes or so to print 1 shirt after I got into the groove. If we wanted to print this commercially however, we would probably end up adding 2 more screens to make it print easier, faster, and better. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
One more question. what is the numbers of lines per inch for the halftone are you using?
It looks to me to be the 55 LPI version. I say that because Mike and I did a few versions of film and we did do a 45 LPI set. But I think I went back to the 55 to get more dot and that is why I went on 305 mesh. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
could you do a tutorial on wet on wet printing? obviously something like this, isn't conducive to a production environment, but if we could do something wet on wet, maybe with water base/discharge inks it could be something we'd be able to use more.
Always enjoy your videos, very informative!
Thanks, glad you enjoy my video work. This would require more screens even printing wet on wet because you could not achieve the same layering effect. So I will do something wet on wet when I can design a good piece of art for it. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
hi, which halftone you use on 305 mesh?? means lpi...45, 60...and what is the shape of halftone
I think this was the 55 LPI version we did with round dot. Mike can confirm the dot shape and the LPI after I send him his shirts... LOL. But I'm pretty sure it's 55. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
HI IVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS AND LOVE THE INFO.... Q-IN INCHES HOW FAR DOWN FROM THE COLAR DO YOU COME DOWN FROM THE TOP OF YOUR DESIGN
Glad to know you enjoy my video work. I think it's about 3 inches but I vary that slightly depending on sizes being printed. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
beginner here. What software do you use to create your artwork? I have only done one color but ready to try something more. Great videos~
Thank you, glad you enjoy my videos. I work in vector and use Adobe Illustrator mostly. Sometimes I use Photoshop to prepare an image file like with the Ben Franklin print video I did.
Did you ever do the video with the difference between photo emulsion and the dual cure?
Sure did. You can find it from my channel page in the videos tab. Just search by topic. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
So what mesh count are the screens at? For a 3 color job?
That depends on the actual artwork. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
Beautiful Jonathan, I ve always wanted to learn halftones, can you please tell me how mesh you use and what number halftones in Photoshop or illustrator? Thanks in advance
Thank you :) I think we did a video about making these screens so look for that. But I think it was a 55 LPI halftone on 305 mesh as I recall. I always use AI but this was done by an artist in the UK so I don't specifically remember. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
@@CatspitProductions sweet, I will check, we use different numbers here, in centimeters , do you know, it's like 120 mesh in centimeter
@@fadyviggo5244 Yes, you have to convert US to metric with mesh. It's a different number and sometimes letter system. In the US it's done in threads per inch and micrometers for thread diameter.
How do you get the Halftone in Photoshop for this Experiment?? can you please so me?
I did not use Photoshop. I used Adobe Illustrator and RIP software to get this quality halftone. PS is not capable of true halftones with the fine quality such as this. PS is for photographs whereas AI is for graphic vector art and true halftone dot. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
hi sir how did u seperate his channel do u use RGB?
You would have to ask Mike. His info is in the video description. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
I have never screen printed, but have seen a bunch of RUclips videos lately. All others I have seen they angle the squeegee towards themselves and pull it towards themselves. I have never seen anyone else push the squeegee away from themselves like you do. Is this just personal preference or is there "method to your madness"?. Thanks for the video.
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, there is a technical reason I prefer that method. Actually a few. But each screen printer does their own thing. There are no rules that you have to abide by. Many people use this method and you will see this on RUclips if you watch enough screen printing videos ;) Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
What is the mesh count you usted for this print?
As I recall it was 305 mesh. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Cracking print .. Please send me one .... x x x
Hello sweetheart! It's a very special print so I think we could arrange that. Just email me your address and size again for me ;) You'll have to wait for me to do a second set of screens for this design though. I'm still going to try to make it print a bit easier if possible. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Is that print bulletproof after all those squeegee passes? Looks good though!
Thanks! LOL... that's some old school terminology there ;) Actually, no. It's a lot of halftone with the shirt showing through. So I did the under base under the skull as light as possible. So the thickest part there is really just the white since the colors are all dot. The Catspit text is the heaviest but again since it's just letters there is enough shirt coming through to make it comfortable I think. I have a sample in the storefront people can come in and see or feel. It has not been washed yet and it's really not bad at all. I don't think it would be a sweat patch during the summer or anything like that. I did do a test wash for all the flashing and it was fine. And it did soften up. So I think it would feel fine and no, it is not the classic bullet proof plastisol due to all the halftone work and shirt coming through. Thanks for watching!

u have a video of Mesh u use for CMYK with white underbase Process for dark garment? i wanna know what mesh u use for white underbase and what mesh u use for C,M,Y,K, screen? please. tnx
No, not yet. I am working on some new art for printing videos. Please stay tuned. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
okie boss tnx a lot... i hope u cud make a short video of it... coz i want to make a CMYK process with white underbase but i dont know what is the proper screen mesh for white and CMYK...
We'll get there eventually. It's a lot of work making these videos ;)
Tnx Boss. Even just demo only.. 😁. And uf u cud add some proper Angle and Lpi u use for it much better😁. Tnx a lot boss ur an Expert. GOOD bless😇. TNX for ur Video. It help us a lot..
Is it plastisol ink? I just started screen printing
Yes, plastisol ink in this video. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
This is awesome!!! Just curious, how thick was that ink layer at the end? Lol. Cool video my man
Thank you! LOL... yeah since these were 305 screens it wasn't that thick. Considering the amount of prints the shirt received anyway. And the design helps keep it breathable. I've actually worn this shirt and it's not uncomfortable at all. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
what mesh count did you use?
305 mesh with a 55 LPI halftone. I'm pretty sure I tell you that in the video ;) Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Do u make screens to sell ?
No, sorry. I do not. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
is that plastisol ink?
Yes. Thanks for watching. Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - catspitscreenprintsupply.com/
plastisol or rubber?
Plastisol. All of my videos are plastisol unless otherwise stated. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
is it plastisol ink?
Yes. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
what was so difficult..how is it different than normal
Well let me just say we would have to add 2 more screens to this print job in order to make it print faster and more efficiently. Usually we only need to print each screen once. This was experimental in doing more complex jobs on 4 color presses with 4 screens or less. Thanks for watching! Screen Printing Equipment & Supplies - CatspitScreenPrintSupply.com/
Please print a tshirt of wwe sting face and scorpion🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😊😊😊

I fail to see why you did the red so early. I would've thought the red after the white was fine.
Also the yellow, not sure why that had to be done again.
Seems like you could've done it in three, white, red, yellow.
Or logically for some artwork light to dark works best, then white yellow, red
Not trying to criticize, so much as understand. I guess you are seeing way more than can be seen on the video, that might explain why you're doing so much.
🤔
If you pay attention to what I am saying in the video, you will understand this was an experimental print. The artist was from England. This design would need another 2 screens to be printed for profit. What I did here was make it work and I layered it in a very nontraditional way. But the end result was very cool. I even printed the lower text differently than the skull art. That is because of the small separation of the 2. Anyway, this was a video that showed how you can make something more than what it is if you are creative in the way you print. It's not really how we would set this up to print for profit.
