Hi Cam, Great video. For people who don't have accu-rip you can covert an image to greyscale, and then create printable halftones without the need of Accu-Rip. Convert to greyscale, adjustments, bitmat, set halftone setting and bam.... (in Photoshop) we used to do this with good results before we got the rip software.

[@derekneth8547]

Thank you tons! You've answered a ton of questions that I've had keep doing your thing, Peace and love!

[@pane2125]

One of the best videos! Always end up coming back to it when I need to refresh my memory...

Thank you Cam! You never say too much, the explanation is gold. Appreciate the video, keep up the great work.

[@k-12clothing23]

This is pure gold. Thanks Cam! You are really hitting the main needs.

[@ThePrintLife]

Right on that is good to hear.

[@KaulesScreenWorksPittsburgh]

My Dad suggested I watch your video on Loading Techniques as some are tricky to load due to stretchiness and material. I honestly can say I am now loading my t-shirts the way you suggested and it's been working great!

[@gapipkin]

[@DORRO299]

Great content, going to be spending a lot of time with these videos. Any chance of doing a screen printing basics video for illustrator. 100% of my graphics experience has been with photoshop and other than live trace I'm illustrator illiterate. Seems like I'm missing a lot of valuable tools. Thanks !

[@Ahmed47199]

That's great info! Only problem for me is... I still find PS COMPLEX. still trying to find my way around it

[@doojohnson908]

nice tutorial but can you show us how to halftone only in photoshop i used color halftone but its roundness is way to big and the photos are not that clear when i edit it hope you read this

[@jokdagoon4303]

image--> mode--> grayscale, and again, image--> mode---> bitmap

[@david_tryon]

Any tips on doing this for a multicolor job? I have a job with a photograph I'm working on, pulling and printing 5-6 halftone screens.

[@danieladeyinka]

ok I followed along all the way up until you clicked separations preview 6:54 .. its not allowing me to check the box underneath, is that because I dont have Accurip orrrrr???

[@ThePrintLife]

Unfortunately you will need accurip for this tutorial. I will make one soon for those who dont have it.

[@relamenoproductions4912]

What printer you use? Epson but what model and any accessories?

[@ThePrintLife]

epson styus 4800

[@zombieprinting2670]

Hey cam, know of a good tutorial on using gsview with illustrator? just can't afford accurip at the moment. great vids man.

[@Nick-gr2uc]

wassup gang

[@MrMaros100]

when i try to place the document after saving as DCS it comes with empty box in illustrator, so i cant find the reason. please help

[@psychambi4939]

what mesh size should i use?

[@darylgarb4804]

Great vid I've been trying to do 1 color haltones with not such great results, using photo.s method . & no rip file. I do a lot of hand illustrastons , that have a few tones when brought into p.s & try to put into a halftone print.Can u give any suggestions. Thanks, Daryl

[@trickinsanity1982]

Hey Man these tutorials are great and I find them pretty easy to understand, one question regarding this subject I have and it's really confusing me is could this same halftone be printed on a white shirt with black ink or would I not invert it if I wanted to achieve that?

[@trickinsanity1982]

Just rewatched the beginning and I found my answer lol

[@Obeysuls96]

Wait how did you made the image black? Where is the revert click

[@miketoth2872]

Where/How did you pay for that actions menu??? I am trying to learn more about automating some of the steps in my seping process. That would be great to have!

[@baltarejosantos2384]

Hello, very good your videos ..Because you don't print directly using Photoshop, is it better to print using illustrator ?!

[@josecolon2668]

I do music to

[@vince11cardinal]

Can you do a video using separation studio and the spot process inks? If you do use that software.

[@ThePrintLife]

Yea I will as soon as we have a cmyk job.

[@detroitcabstowiesdorianbla7465]

Can you print half tone at 900 resolution?

[@jacobmorris2713]

So if i was to print this using only black ink on a white T-shirt, it would making the outside of the shop (in your case) Black and the inside a lighter toned grey/black?

[@tibipocokful]

Hello, I have a question, what type of mesh you recommend for this kind of design? Thanks

[@ThePrintLife]

280 305 will work great. I regret making this vid becouse the photo was a horible example. I will update this soon.

[@guywhosellsvapes4595]

Does just filtering the picture into monochrome then using the negative filter. Work just as well?

[@beesasmrnp]

You are awesome man :) keep the good work coming....

[@ThePrintLife]

Thank you Bishnu. I will keep making them if you keep watching them.

[@beesasmrnp]

sure man

[@martendambeck2879]

we will keep watching … i promise

[@GJ-bi5cr]

Is there another printer that would do halftone as well? Or is the Epson 4800 the end-all-be-all?

[@INFAmadeOFF]

are you using ultraseps for your action bar?

[@ThePrintLife]

Yes, It does an ok job.

[@tylerdunson7009]

Have you tried the affinity software? Just wanted to know what your thoughts are on it?

[@robertherrerarh]

What emulsion do you use for your halftones?

[@anthonyrhodes6688]

How to save in photoshop if you dont have illustrator?

[@Jin-rz1no]

Hi Cam! What is the action menu software you used for your photoshop?

[@ThePrintLife]

It is called Ultra Seps.

[@Jin-rz1no]

Thanks Cam! Stay awesome!

[@haileemccullough1582]

It won't allow me to open my .eps in Illustrator I keep getting error messages

[@beesasmrnp]

Hey man do you have CMYK screen printing tutorial.....i am New to your channel and also New in this industry

[@ThePrintLife]

I'm working on it. I'm waiting for a process job to come through so I can film it.

[@shtewps]

This would be cray. A start to finish CMYK with a manual shop? - my eye are peeled!

[@alextheromanian]

ethereum wallet at 6:12

[@josecolon2668]

Jose.

[@fonzyperez4478]

Great video but a bit too fast.....trying to learn how to do halftones but with this video im gonna have to watch it too many times just to duplicate what you did and Im still going to have questions. seems like you left out explaining why some of the things you did

[@TheUnholyPosole]

While in Photoshop, couldn't you just "Convert to Smart Object", then send to Rip? Instead of opening it in Illustrator?

[@ThePrintLife]

Never tried it that way. Im sure it would work. So many different ways to achieve the same result, Do what you like best.

[@WestologyLA]

Is this considered halftone ? ....

[@ThePrintLife]

Yes! It was just a God awful example.

[@tnrprint8433]

It would be a great tutorial if thats actually what it was. Where did you get the magic dust to invert the image from black to white at 2:16 ? Thumbs down

[@tnrprint8433]

half the shit doesnt even work anymore.

[@renadas.8627]

Did acurip automatically make it a halftone? I use Ps to do halftone because it's free. Is acurip worth the $$?

[@ThePrintLife]

Yes we used Accurip. If you make allot of films Accurip is so worth it. I hated it when I first started using it now I cant imaging life without it. also the quality of the halftones it produces is way higher than doing the gray scale to bitmap method. I will do a video on that method as well soon.

[@renadas.8627]

The Print Life okay cool. Maybe show the difference between acurip and Ps and the final product.

[@phototec]

Great video, you are the MASTER. I'm just starting out and can't justify Accurip yet, have you made the gray scale to bitmap method video yet? That would be awesome if you could.....Thanks Cam

[@ThePrintLife]

yes accurip automatically converts it to a halftone based on transparency, 100% black will be solid 50% black would be converted to a halftone.

[@RockSteddyMo]

So no need to go into all that FREQUENCY, ANGLE halftone bs??
