How do I do CMYK printing?Updated 2 years ago

CMYK printing is done by layering four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) on top of each other to re-create art or a realistic image with only four screens. You can print CMYK with both plastisol and water-based inks. 

CMYK printing is best done on white or light garments. When printed through high mesh counts like 305, the inks are translucent, and will not show up on dark garments at all. Because these inks are so translucent, thousands of colors can be created by layering just four inks.
