In order to print a T-shirt, there are many processes required. It's true that anybody can create a design for a T-shirt, and anybody can print a T-shirt, but somewhere in between those steps lies a world of true wizzardry and mastery, requiring knowledge and skills that no formal education has been able to offer. In fact, these skills are mostly well-guarded secrets, as having this edge in a competitive market can make or break any screen printer and, in many cases, set a small print shop on a course of rapacious growth and a lifetime of success that leaves the rest in their shadow, as most do not understand, don't know how, or have given up trying to reproduce prints that require decades of patience and spoiled goods to fully learn and apply correctly.

This course, written and presented by Colin Fleming, a distinguished grandmaster screen printing pre-press technician with three decades of experience, is your gateway to unlocking the secrets of colour separations. Through these techniques, you'll tap into a lineage of expertise dating back to Colin's late father, who was the first person to screen print in Johannesburg over 60 years ago.

Colin's journey is woven into the fabric of Johannesburg's history.

Even in the face of digital advancement, the authenticity of a well-crafted screen-printed t-shirt remains unparalleled.
