I might be wrong, but surely if you try silkscreening a halftoned image you will end up with Moire patterns all over the shop???

What is required is a greyscale separation per spot colour.

This would then be used to create the exposure area, usually onto film.

When this is processed onto the screen it allows the screen material to

pass the graduations needed for the ink. As in offset printing where the plates are created from a laser print.

Certainly you will get a halftoned effect by applying the PS Halftone filter and then printing out on an inkjet printer.

Wish I'd learned more about what was actually involved in screen processing at a previous job I had.

Artwork was made into separations but without the use of PS Halftone Filter. The black art of the printer worked that little bit of magic.

If I am totally wrong, you may cover me in honey and stake me out on the nearest ant hill. |
