hi,Swamp787,

i tried to make my own camo pattern as realtree and mossy oak is too expensive for license. i finished the patterns including brown camo, green camo, snow camo and blaze in this May. frankly speaking,it is quite complicated and requires lots of Photoshop works.

generally speaking, it will use around 6 to 8 colors to print a nice camo pattern( i.e. 8 colors for realtree or mossy oak) , and in order to make the best camo printing, we generally use heat transfer printing. firstly, we have to make one cylinder for each color and fix all the cylinders in right position on a printing machine, then the heat transfer paper can go through the machine under the cylinders one after another, in this way, we can make the heat transfer paper with colored pattern on it. then the last, another machine has to be used to transfer the pattern on the paper onto the fabric you want. 100% polyester fabric will be your best option for this kind of printing.

if you just want to make small qty for yourself, i would suggest that you design the pattern first and find out one digital printing house to help you print it out. but the color adjustment is a hard job as the printing color is definately different from your screen color.

hope my explanation can be a little bit help for you.

cheers
