Most people wear t-shirts, and most t-shirts have artwork on them, and that's were I come
in. My name is Kevin Winous, and I work at East End Ink, and I am the art director here.
Basically what I'm doing here is I've drawn up this face and it's going to go onto a t-shirt
here, and it's a promotional piece for East End Ink so you have our little drop there
with our East End green. And once I'm done setting it up on this t-shirt I'll get it
approved by Eddie and I will then, you know once approved, I will separate this onto vellum.
This is what a finished printed separation looks like. As you can see it's pretty clear,
it lets a lot of light through, and all except for the image you want burned onto the screen.
So basically, when it's time to separate this, I am going to separate--what separation means
is you're literally separating every color onto one of these vellums--so in this case,
this shirt, if it's going on let's say white, it would be the black shown here, the green,
and you could have dots--like what we call a half tune--of the black. So this would be
just not solid on the vellum but dots. And let me go ahead and just show you what a solid
black separation would look like. So I'm just going to go ahead and print out one of these
colors. There you have a one color of the artwork, of the three color artwork on screen
and you have these ridge marks to line it up once it's on the palette and once you're
actually, once you're printing the garment so it's easy to line up and then you can take
those off and that's all there is to it really.
