Screensilk

One thing that I really love about screen printing, and the industry as a whole, is that it is open to anyone. If you have the time and a little money, you can begin creating your own merchandise and selling it for profit. From the posts on this site and the comments that come in, I know we all support this idea, and in one way or another, started in just that way.

I decided I wanted to highlight a local business that is diving in feet first and trying to make a go in the t-shirt business.

Rizzo Tees ( http://www.rizzotees.com/ ) has a knack for finding the funny side of society, and flipping it into a visual pun, hilarious play on words, or just pure honesty that is so funny, because it is true. ( I hate Pants, anyone?)

With sayings like Barack That Ass Up, Kama Supra, and BILF (Breakfast I’d like to F*ck), you can not browse their store without cracking a smile.

So as a special offer to all the Screensilk.com subscribers and visitors, RizzoTees has agreed to extend a 10% savings on orders that use the coupon code SCREENSILK.

So please, take a look at what Rizzo Tee’s has to offer, and use the coupon code SCREENSILK to save 10% on your order.

I would like to add, that Screensilk.com is in no way affiliated with Rizzo Tee’s, and this promotion is strictly to help them gain some exposure. We are in a recession for christ’s sake, we can all use any help we can get….

While I created this site to focus on Silk Screening and the more complex methods used to create quality printed work, the most popular content to date has been the Photoshop patterns that I released. And even though this was just a low resolution set, the quality was recognized and downloads have continued to be steady throughout the months. Along with the free download, the high-res pattern pack was met was similar enthusiasm, and for low price of $4.99, has been a steady seller.

Well, to mark our 5000th download of the free pattern pack, and as a THANK YOU to all the people who have visited Screensilk.com and have used the patterns in their own work, I am releasing the full Hi-Res Pattern pack for absolutely FREE.

If you have read my article, “The Secrets to Full Color Screen Printing”, than you already understand the underlying principles to 4 color screen printing. In that article we discussed the principles of the CMYK color model, color separations, halftones, and lines per inch (LPI). In this tutorial, we are going to take what we have learned, and using photoshop, quickly create color separations for output to transparencies for screen printing.
