What is Screen Print?
Screen Printing is most common decoration methods when it comes to decorating apparel. It is also known as silkscreen printing. This is one of the most durable decoration methods. When the screen print is done correctly it will last as long, as the life of the shirt.
Screen print involves making screens for each color used in your artwork. To begin the process, we start by burning the vector artwork into mesh screens. The screens resemble stencils of your artwork. The screens are then loaded on the printing press where the ink is applied on top of the screen. Shirts are then loaded on to the press where each screen is set over the shirt. Ink is applied in layers through the tiny holes of the screen, to create amazing depth and detail to each printed design. The shirt is then taken off the press and run through the dryer to set the ink.
The screen print method produces the brightest vibrant color that can’t be replicated with any other printing methods. Longevity of the print also outlasts other printing methods and is the most cost-effective for large orders.
