![[SCEEEN PRINTING] CMYK COLOR PROCESS - NINJA TURTLES](/img/n.gif)
Dude, it was absolutely crazy watching just the 4 colors creating a full color print. Thank you for the tutorial!
I’m not familiar with fabric screen printing, my professional specialty is printing on paper. The CMYK process is almost identical though, so some tips :
- take into account the color of the fabric you plan to print on. White shirts are a no brainer, but lightly colored fabrics will change the outcome. So if you plan to print on a light grey for example, don’t forget to reduce the black tones from a corresponding percentage;
- CMYK is great for photographic elements, but if your design is some vector art with few solid colors, you should use direct tones instead;
- I don’t know the specifics of wet on wet inks, but the superposition of too much ink on the same spot can cause drying problems. In paper print, the rule is that when you add all the CMYK values, the result shouldn’t exceed 300%. There are some separation settings that allows you to translate neutral greys in the image obtained by the mix of CMY into a single K value. That allows you to use less of CMY inks which are often more expensive than the K ones;
- One of the biggest advantage of CMYK is that you can print different visuals one after another without having to clean your tools;
- Advanced technique : Color separation can be done with other colors than CMYK, and use spot colors instead with a few adjustments. For example, you can use red instead of magenta if you adjust the other colors accordingly. This is useful if your art also includes a vector art logo which you’d like to be printed with the exact spot colors. In the model shown of the Argentina national football team, Cyan and Yellow could be substituted with the blue and yellow spot colors of Argentina’s flag team logo. It’s also possible in some cases, depending on the nature of your picture, to eliminate altogether a whole color pass with this technique. You can also have fun with special inks for creative effects;
- I don’t know if that works with screen printing, but you can also use color separation to reinforce Black values. In the comic books industry for example, all the black ink drawing lines are often also printed in cyan. The superposition of cyan and black gives a stronger Black result. It’s recommended though to make the Cyan lines a bit thinner than the black ones to limit the possibilities of imperfect alignment during the application.
Hope this video helps in any way God Bless ❤️
I did and it worked so great I started from yellow to black just like you indicated.. thank you so much!
Then you, God bless you too. ❤
What kind of ink would it be if I did the same thing on paper (please help me 🙏) thanks?
It did, I need to try this myself now😅
¡Dios es contigo! Gracias compa. 🤙
It definitely helped! Thanks very much; I'm just taking my first steps into screen printing and learning what you've just taught me will come in very handy!
The thank you for taking so much time to teach us thoroughly mylo!!!
Bro that is so amazing the things you can do with screen printing is crazy
fire video bro i’ve been looking for exactly this, thanks so much
Amazing video man! Thanks for this class 🔥
Thank you for all the detailed explanation
getting into screen printing appreciate the help!
My boy always looks blasted, I dig it
God bless you brother this is the first video I seen of yours and I already know im going to learn a lot from you thanks for making these videos ...
this is super cool, i'm really glad i found this video
Nice tutorial my friend .. thank you.
I have learned so much in the last few years. Patience is key. I messed up so many times but I enjoyed figuring out how. CMYK is absolutely my favorite method.. and yes .. the higher the quality of the design or image, the better the results .. actually .. I will not use a bad quality image because it just wont work and not even worth the time and effort.
Yes not even worth it since It those take a while To set everything up .. and Thank you 😁❤️🤘
Bro I can't stop saying it I love your screen printing press amazing man keep doing what you're doing I appreciate you and love your channel
Aww man thanks a million ❤️😁🤘
Nicely explained. Thanks!
Thanks, this is really insightful.
As a profession, I am a flexographic printer. Bread bags, diaper bags etc. cmyk is how we print all our process images. Been looking at starting at shirt printing business. This method is very familiar to me yet foreign lol. Different type of press than I’m use to. I appreciate you videos.
Thanks a million. Now you got me curious to see how you print like that on bags lolz
The best video I ever seen thank you !
inspirational, beautiful video
Mate this was the best tutorial I've seen so far! So informative and clear! I'm new to this and I have a design I created in photoshop that I would like to print so CMYK seems a good starting point for me. Ultimately I would like to sell my own tshirts as part of a brand as I work to grow my YT channel. Will sub and keep checking out your channel! JT
Thank you for sharing 🙌🏽
This video was great!!
Thank you a lot for sharing your experience with us. Amazing job 👍 going to watch the other videos now 😁
Awesome thank you ❤️🙌
Looks good, I need to get some process inks to try these halftone effects
Great video and explained very well. Subscribed!
Awesome 😁❤️🤘
Great video.... Please can you make a video on how you do the separation in coreldraw???
UNDERRATED CHANNEL ALERT
damn looks sharp great job dude
awesome video. Im glad you mentioned not printing it CMYK but instead going lightest to darkest. Thats often how I set the jobs up but sometimes might switch it up if my separations weren't as good as they should have been. When printing wet on wet do you need to clean the bottom of the screens often or do you not get a lot of ink build up on the screens? I have noticed that I only get through a few tshirts before I feel the other inks are affecting the quality of the print
Thank You!
So dope!!
Good information Bro. Keep it up
wow mate great job
Awesome. I've done CMYK, but a long time ago before inkjet. That was a pain and involved a lot of film processing and actual screens that produced the halftone. lol
Thank you sir.
I really appreciated this tutorial. Tons of great tips here. Did you ever make the video about printing CMYK on darker colors?
Thanks for this great lesson Sir.
Please can I try printing separation with plastisol inks?
Nice print my man!
Beautiful
Well made video g👌
Thank you sir
Looks great!!! I've been screen printing for 17 years and never have done CMYK... I just got an automatic press and want to give it a try.... What "RIP" software do you use to do your screen separations??? Thanks.
Very helpful TFS!
Great video bro...quick question...do the back of the screens get ink on them from the wet ink on the shirt?
Great explanation, good job
Thank you ❤️😁🤘
Thank you !
Thanks for the support 😁❤️🤘
Pirlo is my favorite soccer player.
Excellent ✌️🥋🙏Oss!
Thank you so much for your video. I plan to present this to my preschoolers in class today. Take care! Gracias! (Say your name so that my students can know que eres latino o hispano - de Mexico o no estoy segura de donde - con mucho orgullo te presento a ellos y las familias)
dtf is good for production but Silk Screen is ART. The best
Hi, I am from India, I am learning from your video, good luck bro
Great Works
Thank you 😁❤️🤘
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you too
When you do that cmyk with a white base it would be nice to show how you did on the computer in coral draw
Yes I will most definitely do it …
Sr. Mylo, l would like to know how to degrade in half tone or what program is good, also what is the exposition time to had tone
Great
Whens separating colors, how do you know which colors goes with which layer?
hi, thanks for the very helpful video! I was wondering, I understand that it had to be wet on wet, but is it possible if I screen print each of the colors on different times? I can only do one screen at a time, so printing all four colors at the same time will be a hassle
And what inks and emulsion you use
Do you think xtool's laser engraving screen print kit would make this process a lot easier? (alignment)
How are you brother I’d love to see the whole process on how you separated the artwork for colors I’m just starting and would love a video
Hi Mylo... in other videos of wet on wet screen printing (shirts and transfers) you kind of indicated the possibility of different types of ink. Can you clarify and also what type of ink is used with CYMK.
Thanks in advance!
how to produce white base for dark base using coeldraw beside from CMYK?
Bro which emulsion u use
Ronaldinho! Too late but still, best player ever. Billy in London, England

Good video can't you do cmyk with the same angle
Finally a good video on CMYK….
Few questions… is that setup expensive?
And does cmyk print gray colors on black well?
You will need white under base for it, trust me I tried it and it doesn’t look too good
What mesh do you use?
How to do it on a darker garment ?
Can this be done with water based inks ?
could you do a tutorial on how to burn the different layers / different colors
Sir Can water based ink work with cmyk or only plastisol (sorry for bad english)
Serigrafi is love, serigrafi is life ❤
What ink did you use?
Hey what’s another app besides CorelDraw?
Bro, what screen mesh did you used?
By the way, thank you for these tutorials, it actually widened my knowledge in screen printing. I’m just a beginner. So thanks a lot bro and God bless you more
305
Do you suggest 305 mesh for photo reals?
Bro I got a question what type of inks these are
Waterbased or sol?
Does any know the exact name of the inks he is using for example the yellow one i can read it says 724LF, but i cant read the others
Why do you print wet on wet instead of curing each color in between?
Of cours we're diying to see full process
Huge CR7 fan 🔥
Bro I need lessons, I need your link
Quick question. When you print registration marks on the stencil and stuff does that not mean you will end up printing the registration marks on the shirt as well? Obviously I know you don't but where In the process and how do you end up removing/avoiding printing the registration marks on the shirts
You ad tape to cover them when your about to start production …
do you have a video on how to break down the color elements and gradients? feels like there a missing piece to wrap my brain around this 😂
I don’t have a video but, there’s no gradients it’s all halftones… I convert the full image to halftones, then when I go print it out the films. I just separated every half tone into 4 different colors that is CYMK….
Hi i am Job, from Haiti, thanks for sharing your knowledge to us, by the way i have a question: what is cyan exactly? Is it the same blue that we use in simple printing or another blue that we use specially for halftone? Please answer me.
That’s a good question, cyan is just a regular ink color , but the ink that I use in the video is a proses ink …
Alright, thanks.
What LPI?
I thought sim process and cmyk process was the same what's difference?
Hey brother, Do you work alone in your workshop or do you have other employees?
Can you show something with puff ink?
Will definitely add it to the list
If you do a print on a dark garment, can you replace the black with a white underbase? Allowing the black shirt to make the outlines?
No the black gets printed over the base … because it mixes and matches with the other colors ..
@myloprints so unless you have more than 4 print heads you can't cmyk on dark garmets?
Yes, for black garments you need 5 screens. @@Rain-di2bq

messssiii🥶
Why u don't try it like black cyan magenta then yellow juss like offset printing
I honestly haven’t try it … but I’m a good 80% sure it won’t work
Can you make a video step by step in detail from creating a design to printing 😅
Most definitely
What mesh size are you using?
You can use from 280 to 305 for high quality images
are those inks water based?
They plastisol ink
Is your ink water based
Plastisol
