Master the layers and you can put decoration on things a garment printer can't touch — and charge accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis session covers both UV platforms we run: the Grando for TPU, and the Mimaki UV printer for rigid and flat stock — skate decks, stickers and posters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThis is not a beginner class\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt assumes fundamental Adobe Illustrator ability. The whole day turns on proper art setup: building textures and layers using white and clear inks so the press can actually leverage what UV does. If your Illustrator layer work isn't solid, this session will move faster than is useful to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrando — TPU\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLayered TPU patches: gloss layer, matte layer, texture layer, clear and white ink. TPU patches are heat-applied, so the technique runs straight back into your existing embroidery and apparel work. It is a production technique, not a novelty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMimaki UV — hard goods and flat stock\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same layering discipline applied to rigid substrates: skate decks, stickers and posters. Where the money is, what the press will and won't hold, and how to set the file up so the result is repeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/em\u003e Decorators who are already comfortable in Adobe Illustrator and want to sell product a garment printer cannot produce.
