If you're doing halftoning with the intent to get custom DTF (direct to film) prints for t shirts, you might find this tool helpful:

It aims to 'knock out' some areas of the image: make them transparent in the digital image so those areas are not part of the final film. This means less of the surface of the t shirt has film on it, allowing it to be breathable and flexible.

I got some DTF prints made before I knew you were meant to do this. The tutorials online required a lot of steps so I made the above for next time. Not tested for real yet.

Very important clarification, there.

Bravo! One of my canary projects for LLMs has been a spot color / dithering tool; very much an amateur screen printer, and it seemed a way to spark my own interest to do some multicolor prints. Suffice to say the models couldn’t handle it, but I haven’t checked in a generation or two, so this is great motivation to try again!
