Photographic Screen Printing
Photoshop for photographic printing using the CAD suit machinery specifically the me mac printer needs specific printing technology. Firstly the actual size of fabric swatches that you are wanting, needs to be created when you create your photoshop page similar to creating a word doc.
It is a bit difficult if you are not used to using the software , practice will hopefully make it easier for me to develop and remember.
I have created different coloured backgrounds with the cherub photograph used on the screen print being re created as a linen fabric print. The cherub has been enlarged to be used in connection with a smaller cherub repeat in faded pastels, natural linen background and also black. The cherub has been used in grey scale and also faded grey scale with colour added using different effects using the different brush effects. I have created 18 different variations in order for an effect range of colour variations and styles in order to equate a collection favoured in commercial concepts.
I will be sending the different designs which are jiffs which have also been flattened using photoshop tools will be send via Dropbox share user as the images use a lot of space and emailing may be difficult. I will be asking for a colour match onto a swatch of fabric to check colours are what I am wanting before 3 metres are printed. I am also printing mounting card to hang the fabric swatches on for display purposes
