T Shirt Design and Separations

Blackwater Studios is the design and colour separations department of  T shirt printing company Advertees, the pre press department is key to achieving the best quality screen prints on your T shirts. We have years of experience in deciding the best methods for colour separating designs for screen print. Basic spot colour, index, simulated process and CMYK are all common methods used to get designs on to T Shirts, and often combinations of these techniques.

Screen making is also a big part of this process, by using re-tensionable Newman frames we are able to achieve better registration, finer half tones, and better ink deposits. We hope to enable a little insight into the process through these pages in the coming months.
