Specific guidelines dictating substrate, mesh tension, mesh count, line screen, squeegee pressure, squeegee sharpness, and durometer or contact and ink brand are just a few. Many variables affect the success of the print.
Not only do the separations have to be adjusted but the press production crew has a set of very strict parameters to limit the dot gain to the absolute minimum. In order to compensate for the dot gain that is inherent with the textile screen printing process, the original RGB file must be converted and adjusted to allow for the excessive gain.
