If you are reading this for the first time and you are just trying to find out more on how to place the image on a screen you may want to call Casey's Page Mill. They are standing by just to help!

To begin you print out a film positive (clear or vellum) on your desktop printer (laser is best but inkjet will work). On the right photo I'm pointing at a target; this is needed in order to register your print if you have more than one color to put on a t-shirt. Note: the photo on the right is transparent vellum. This is important to understand; light must be able to pass through the paper in order to make a silk-screen. Also, art work should be left up to the professional. When it comes to a multi-color print, we have artists available for you to use at a nominal fee. They will give you the film positives that are needed so you can do a professional job for your customers.

In order to print this three color logo I had an artist make three film positives, one positive for each color (see below).

Each positive has targets on each corner. Over time you can learn how to do this color separation yourself (most screen printers use a program called Corel draw or Adobe Photoshop), but as I said before, it is better to have someone familiar do this until you get the hang of it.
