The RIP software referenced are strictly for black ink halftone and solid film output. These programs use sophisticated mathematical algorithms to generate high resolution and extremely clear and accurate halftones from a Photoshop channel separation or vector documents created with Illustrator, CorelDraw or other PostScript application.

Relative to screen printing.3) Tips&Tricks:Share knowledge! Every screen printer does things a little differently; one printer's 'Jank-Ass Registration' technique could very well help out the art student struggling with the 'Oh Holy Crap These Prints Are Due In 8 Hours' technique.4) Shameless Self Promotion:Show us your work!

Hi guys.I currently have Adobe Illustrator CC, but my renewal is coming up next month, and I was just notified that there will be a price increase. I was just curious what software you all choose to use for making your designs?lm on a Mac and trying to see if there's anything suitable for screen printing artwork that would allow me to dump my Adobe subscription. From searching for Illustrator alternatives, Affinity Designer seems to be pretty well regarded, but I'm not sure if it has all the features one would need for screen printing artwork.
I just signed up for the trial.Also, I'm just getting started in printing for myself, so I'm not exactly sure of all the features you'd need for screen printing design prep. I have used Illustrator to design logos and artwork that got screen printed before, but after sending the files to the printers at the time, I'm not sure if anything else needed to be done before printing them to film.Thank you!. The largest and most important thing that I've done within prepress work is color separations. I mostly create all of my own artwork even for clients. The most important thing to do is to keep your colors on different layers. I can't speak to the people who do CMYK printing but most of mine is just spot colors.
I would be able to get most of my work done with Photoshop at 300dpi, but I'm a graphic designer by trade, so I wouldn't ever ditch adobe. Although, Affinity looks like it's absolutely capable of handling whatever you throw at it for screen printing.My only caveat would be if you are running a RIP software, make sure the plugin is compatible with affinity, I assume it would be. I've been using affinity designer for about a year now and while it is suitable for designing the artwork initially, it can be a little difficult to use when it comes to getting the artwork to print correctly if the layering isn't done right. And even if it is right, it's confusing as hell.The shop I work at primarily uses CorelDraw X7 but, it's been buggy ever since we switched to Windows 10 and we'll probably need to upgrade to X10 in the near future.
I will say though that Corel has some awesome tools specifically tailored to screen printing applications and makes generating artwork fairly painless, especially when the artwork is coming from an outside source.
