just don't let the name fool you like it did me.

Too late for me.

Bought it at a show in Ft Worth.  Same experience, except I ate the $$.  :-[

Great Dane Graphics has a series called Photoshop for Screen Printers that I would NOT recommend based on the title.

There is NOTHING in there that is related to screen printing actually, they do have SOME DTG info.  It's not bad info if you don't know PS at all, but it's nothing you can't learn online or through another means.

I bought it assuming there would be some information about separations and such... nothing.  I got my money back even though they didn't like that.

When I mentioned that I thought there would be sep information in there they said "No one separates in Photoshop."

They did have a chapter on using Studio Separations or whatever that all in one program is.

Just an FYI.

No beef with Dane or any of them, hell their an hour away, I really wanted to be happy with them... just don't let the name fool you like it did me.


You actually went out and bought this?? Shame on you Kev..

Oddly enough, though I already knew how to separate when I bought it, (because I always like to get other people's take on the subject) I found a lot of use from it, but after looking it over again, it is more art prep than actual sepping. Again, there are tons of vids on the subject, but there are a lot of not so good ones too; the more you learn, the easier it is to shake out the chaff and get the info you need to work. So, I'll withdraw that suggestion...
