Who has experience? I'd like to make a couple designs for shirts. Let's start something up.

I had a few friends that got really into. If you are looking to do anything with the slightest bit of detail, it will take a long time and a lot of patience.

I have a few designs I would like to put on shirts as well. I work with a graphic design guy that can make the image. Do the screen press machines accept Adobe Illustrator image formats?

someone, like me for example, would have to seperate each color from the artwork in Ai and print out on vellum each seperation with exact crop marks using a RIP software and postscript printer. then it would be burned onto a mesh screen, blown out, cleaned, taped up and alligned with all of them.

Its a lot of work to do multiple colors.
