Introductory
Creating your artwork properly from the beginning and getting

a premium print in the end. Dane Clement will discuss all aspects of
the artwork process from beginning to end that will help your final
production run more efficiently and achieve greater printed results.
Learn about vector artwork versus raster artwork, and how to
create designs of both types using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe
Photoshop which users of CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT
can apply as well. Dane will explain the proper way to start your
artwork to prevent any headaches later down the line. Learn how
to optimize your design, or any design provided to you, so it'll
be the cleanest and sharpest possible, which will lead to easier
separations and better prints. Separations, halftone screens,
registration and more...learn about all these aspects of the preproduction process for screen printing.
Get other special tips and tricks such as ways to take a full
color image and turn it into a 1-, 2-, or 3-color design to create
a more cost-effective print that is still dynamic and eye-catching.
You'll discover all you need to know from beginning to end to help
everything come together on press quicker and easier and save
you time and money.
