The Grendel Screen Printing Graphics Production Course

Who Should Attend?

If you are a graphics professional or heavily involved in the art-to-positive graphics process, our one-day Screen Printing Graphics Production Course was designed for you.

This graphics course goes into much greater detail than we can allow for in our three-day Comprehensive Workshop/Class. The Screen Printing Graphics Production Course expands upon the abridged graphics curriculum from our three-day course by offering specific detail and graphic production technicalities. It was designed to meet the special needs we have identified from industry feedback to focus some of our curriculum entirely on the graphic production process.

Please note that this class is not intended to teach vector or raster graphic programs. A basic understanding and familiarity with these programs IS a prerequisite for this class. With that existing foundation to build upon, this course will help you integrate graphics with the specialized needs for screen printing.

Our Screen Printing Graphics Production Class is NOT a class on:
- How to use a vector generating program
(like Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw)
- How to use the pixel editing program Photoshop

Our Screen Printing Graphics Production Class IS a class on:
- Reviewing monitor/screen navigation within Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
- Basic positive/stencil printer needs
- Choosing the right positives and printer
- Preparing and printing color separations
- Printing positives and positives overview
- Dots and "halftones"
- Matching art to mesh choice
- Dealing with customer provided or outside art
- Screen printing limitations on graphics
- Graphic-to-print concepts (choke, trap, butt, and when and how to use them)
- The effects of garment color on printed graphics
- Under-base or underlay colors
- Overview of four color process
- Overview of spot colors and "spot process/simulated process"
- Design tips for graphics on garments
- Effects of mesh and emulsion on printed graphics

Open Question/Answer Sessions Are Encouraged

As with all of our courses, our students are encouraged to ask detailed, technical questions of the instructor. Feel free to bring preconceived graphic questions to the class in order to take full advantage of your classroom experience. We believe that open dialogue between the students and instructor will enhance the entire classroom experience.

The Grendel's state-of-the-art classroom presentation, supplemental hand-out materials, and highly-encouraged question and answer sessions, all combine to create an intensive and rewarding one-day course.

Who is the Instructor?

Your instructor will be The Grendel’s own screen printing educational expert and technical authority, Douglas Grigar.
