![]() Layer 1 is the vector artwork that Illustrator opens. Layers do not alter the output of your screen printer’s artwork they make it easier to work on. Layers will use elements from the main picture for each color. Each color will be a separate piece of artwork in a separate layer. Preparing Your Artwork File For Each Color, Create LayersĪdobe Illustrator is the best way to create artwork for screen printing. The top color prints directly on the bottom color this can often produce a new color since the ink is not always opaque. Overprint is the third and easiest technique. It relies on printing a specific color in the space left by the bottom color. The Knockout technique is a less common option. Screen printing can be difficult to achieve exact results, especially when printing on fabric surfaces. This prevents gaps from printing incorrectly with the second color. When the bottom color “bleeds,” it is called Trap. Three types of artwork are commonly used to print this type: Each layer interacts with the other to create a complete image. We have to create artwork for each color layer as the t-shirt will be printed in three different colors. Your screen printing company will communicate your requirements and may offer tips to help you avoid potential problems. While some printers prefer to make their separations, it is still beneficial to learn the process. It is then set up so that a screen printing company can easily print the color separations. This post will show you how to use Adobe Illustrator to create a 3-color screen print with a fictional company logo. These t-shirts are an accessible promotional item that people will wear and also have the bonus of being an advertisement for your business. I am still in the process of downloading the 4.2 RC, so I haven’t tried it myself, but I have a question for you.ĭo these Revel publish collections now sync bi-directionally? Meaning if I add / change / delete a photo on my iPad, does that change sync back to the collection in Lightroom? I love being able to publish from Lightroom to Revel, but wanted to know about bringing back changes I make to my photos from Revel back into Lightroom.Getting printed t-shirts is a great way to promote your company, organization, or event. Nowhere does it mention updating the Revel Publish Service, so when you posted this tonight, I freaked out!! My biggest wish for Revel / Lightroom integration was a sync able photo hierarchy. ![]() ![]() However, I had no idea about the smart collections changes in the Lr 4.2 RC. Now that this update has hit, I am back in love with Revel. I was a subscriber, but was frustrated at the lack of web albums, and organization into albums so I cancelled my subscription. Like you, I had the same reaction to Revel 1.5…albums!!! Finally!!! This update pushed me over the edge to come back. With Revel, I hit the Publish button on my “Recent Work” smart collection and my iPad is updated! Now getting most Portfolio apps to reflect that update is often a very manual process. For example, one of my Portfolios called “Recent Work” It has 24 images in it and after each shoot I put 1-3 images in and remove the oldest ones keeping it at 24. GREAT! However, where most of them fall down is the difficulty in updating or keeping the portfolios current. Many let you customize them with your own brand, they have nice transitions and they allow for music to play during the show. There are some really great Portfolio apps for the iPad out there that do all kinds of cool things. This means that when I update any of my portfolios (collections), all I have to do is press the Publish button in the Revel area and those portfolios are sync’d to the cloud and therefore my iPad, iPhone and other Macs. However, with the updated Lightroom 4.2 (RC) Publish Collection plug-in I can now create Smart Published Collections that mirror my Portfolios (Collections) in Lightroom. The Lightroom Integration is the KeyĪdobe Revel as a stand alone product/service isn’t that interesting for my workflow. While Revel isn’t new, the 1.5 update adds the one feature that I’ve been waiting for – ALBUMS! Now that I can organize my photos in Albums (I know, simple concept right?) It just became much more useful to me. With the Revel Service you can add photos from any device, do non-destructive enhancements and see those photos on any device. There’s currently a desktop Mac version and an iOS Version. Adobe Revel is Adobe’s Photography Cloud Service.
