I have watched many vids from catspit and the info is priceless! Glad that such knowledge is being shared!

Total noob here....but can you use Adobe Illustrator for this?

[CatspitProductions]

@SuggestiveSquirrels Oh totally, yes, for sure. Illustrator has excellent post script capabilities with RIP or post script printers I believe. I often output film directly from Illustrator to RIP software for printout. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

Hey man, thanks for the tips, vry very appreciated. Can you tell me how your getting on with the Epson 1400 ? as Im about to pull the trigger on buying one of those myself, thanks in advance, Andy.

[CatspitProductions]

@MotorSoundsRecords You’re welcome, it’s my pleasure to help out and share information. The 1400 is pretty good but if I had the money I would have gotten a 3880 or a 4880. But it's a good 13x19 printer for the money. Check out the Catspit website for a lot more free info on screen printing. Link is on the channel page. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

[CatspitProductions]

@FightingAussieLad That’s pretty amazing. You are not the first person to say they do this. But I don’t think it would be possible for me to get the darn thing to print exactly in the same position even twice. My Epson 1400 doesn’t seem to have a paper feed that would even come close to being able to do that. Plus the emulsion on the inkjet film can only hold so much ink. How do you do it? What printer and film are you using? Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

[FightingAussieLad]

if your not doing half tones, and you dont have the epson printers to use rip software (so you can load all 5 or 6 printer catridges up with black) , i found rather than use two transparancies to increase the opacity, you can just print on the same sheet several times to increase the darkness (thicker layer of ink). Just make sure you remember to load it in the correct way and have the sliders on your printer adjusted properly so the sheet feeds into the printer in the same way each time.
