If you are a beginner or an intermediate artist and want to know how to do art for t-shirts and have the tools and knowledge that you will help guide you, then The Art of T-Shirt Color Separation is the best and least expensive way to start.

Photoshop is a fantastic program for designing art for T-Shirts.  It is also a great tool to build Color Separations in Channels to make that design a great image on a T-Shirt.  This book teaches how to accomplish that goal in simple and easy step-by-step exercises,  using different methods to make these separations come back together on the press to duplicate the design on the computer.

Discover How To:

• Separate colors for printing on black shirts

• Cross between RGB and CMYK channels

• Simulated and 4 color process

• Splitting channels to place separately into a vector program

• Outputting channels as an EPS composite from a vector program

• Create halftones without a rip software program

• Understanding the characteristics of individual channels

• The tools, palettes, hot keys and much more

No DVD! FULL Photoshop files are downloaded from the cloud at the click of a mouse as you need them for each exercise.

Toxic Crusaders | 9 Color T- Shirt Separation

 I get a lot of art that I really enjoy having fun taking apart and rebuilding into a production separation for T-shirts.  Most of the time it is the blending of colors to create more color.  This one was not one of those. There were quite a few spot colors with deeper shades of the pure, bright colors.  A nice challenge for so many spot colors.   I really wanted it to look great on a T-shirt.  I mean,  this is the Toxic Crusaders! 

Since it was only printing on black,  I played with the base white and the shirt itself to get the shading of the solid colors.  The result turned out great on the shirt!

These were the Photoshop seps:
