Questions about screen printing design and separations
Q.
Can GOdzyn do anything with an existing design?
A.
Yes! Sometimes the only thing an existing design needs is a little push. We can work with the existing Photoshop or Illustrator file and breath a little life into it. We will usually provide ideas and suggestions for shirt colors, position and size.
Q.
My file is flat with no layers. Can GOdzyn do anything with it?
A.
Yes! If we are dealing with flattened artwork we can cut it apart and create our own layers to make adjustments and alter the design. Some parts of the art may require redesigning and color treatments.
We can pull color separations from flattened artwork as well. It will require more time to create masks that are usually achieved with the layers but the overall separation will still perform the same on press when we are done with it.
Q.
Are final separations guarenteed to work on press?
A.
No! Separations have many variables that effect their success once they are on press. Most of these variables are completely out of our hands and depend on all the necessary steps of the printing process to be consistent.
A discrepancy in any one of these can have severe effects on the success of the separations. When we create the separations we will provide our suggestion for print order and colors.
