HELP...any info is welcome

ok guys, im really hoping for a miracle here....some screen printing equipment just fell in my lap and im having a hard time finding a way to make the graphics......im trying to make like parody logos and dont really know where to start. also if anybody knows any good free or inexpencive programs that may be able to do such a thing, i would appreciate any info.

thanks gang!

What do you have for equipment?

4 color 2 station press, uv exposure light, flash curer, frames, ink, tools.....pretty much evrything i need to press shirts and hoodies and stuff

this is the kit i have

Well then you got everything... so basically what you are looking for is how to get a multi colored design done? Are you using capilary film or liquid emulsion? do you have an oversized printer?

OH SHIT! THat is a sweet set up for the price! I sunk about that much into what I have and it's only a single color station

Ryonet is the shit so is www.silkscreeningsupplies.com


Ryonet has tons of info videos on how to print nearly anything

http://www.t-shirtforums.com/ is also a place for good info

this is the idea of what im trying to do......i want to be able to get an immage like master card logo for example and make it say what ever i want......if you have ever seen people selling shirts at a concert with whatever band name tweaked to look like famous logo....thats sort of the kind of thing im trying to make

i just got this stuff and really dont know what im doing...havent made anything yet...im not sure what im using yet, i think its emulsion(you talkin to make positives?) and i dont have a printer...im in the market if you have any advise on a good one.

im more having trouble creating the graphics....i have a guy who runs a shop localy that will help with the pressing process and ive watched a few youtube vids and am aware of ryonet and silkscreensupplys.com

another example......basically im in business if i can figure out how to get an immage such as a logo tweak it, from there i have all sorts of great ideas

Ok so here's the first thing. Each color is a new screen. So what you want is to have registration marks so everything lines up.


Design wise I just use inkscape and paint.net to design. Usually people use color separating software for their designs to be easier transferred to screenprinting.

I would be willing to do the design for you... it's a fairly simple logo

I did this one recently (which is a pretty close parody)

dang...if you could do designs for me i would pay you for them.....and ya, my buddy with the shop walked me through the reg marks and pressing process, i feel pretty good about that aspect. Im no graphic designer YET....im certainly going to learn all this stuff graphic wise just going to take some time and trial and error

SICK!.....thats exacly the idea, being able to tweak labels just like that.....matching the fonts and getting the base immage are my issues right now

Here's another parody logo I did that never saw the light of day. But it was fun.

one that i want to make is the hardees logo but says Harpua rather than hardees and i cant even get the logo to my computer from the web to even begin messing with it

What kind of paint/image software are you using?

INKSCAPE is the best one I have found with out having to install add ons and shit
http://inkscape.org/

Best FREE software I should say

theres also photshop and coral if you're willing to drop the big $$

yep i might try to get corel or photoshop.....but i think im going to give that free one a whirl first
