for the money you are going to spend getting your own set up, you are probably better off having a shop that is established (like pennswood) do the boards... Penns is doing all our wood in the future... I screen print my own decks for fun... All Never Again decks are outsourced and will be done at Pennswood exclusively in the future. that way if you stuff doesnt sell, you are not stuck with thousands of dollars of ink, screens, emulsion, cleaner, squeegees, etc etc... its not as easy to sell boards as you may think by the way... Your friends will only buy your shit for so long!
have fun!

ok so what if there is shading? what if i was doing for example ... a mushroom cloud. there are different shades of red yellow orange..etc....
what would you do?
and if you converted to b&w, there would still be shades... so i wonder how to do this. |

The halftone handles gradations of *A* color (see the example I posted above).
If you have gradations of many colors (i.e. shades of different colors together, such as yellows, oranges, reds and browns) you would either fake it with posterizations (layers of individual colors), or just go for a full 4 color separation, separating your art into 4 sets of halftones, and printing in the Process colors, Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and black. Pick up a full color newspaper like USA Today to see how the art is going to be broken down.
FWIW, you are really out of your league for homemade if these are the questions you are asking. The techniques aren't too hard, but you're really missing out on a lot of the Printing and Graphic Art fundamentals. I would highly recommend getting yourself into a Basic Printmaking class at your local JC. |
