Illustrator and Screen Printing


i started working in screen shop prepress tech. current work flow seems little inefficient , wondering if screen printers willing discuss standard procedure using illustrator make screens.

 

here how it:

open customer's supplied art (they prep on own)

hide base white layer

print .ps: manually change lpi's 45 , freq 22.5, select individual page , set "custom" in media size, save

hide art layer

bring base white layer

print .ps: maintain previous settings

print .ps: change page next artboard, set "custom" media size

hide base white

bring art layer

print .ps: maintain settings

keep pattern remaining artboards

 

i'm wondering if there isn't way in 1 step. once rhythm it's easy it's busy office, there lot's of distractions , process can messed up. better off setting multiple pieces of art on 1 artboard , including own registration marks?

when set stuff old job (i did screen printing jobs) did set art have spot colors desired, in print dialog, went output>mode>separations host based , made sure colors correct (no cmyk) , printed film.
