Here’s a closer look at how we bring your designs to life.

What is Screen Printing?

Screen printing, also known as silk screening, is a technique that involves transferring ink through a mesh screen onto fabric. Each color in your design requires a separate screen, and the process is both artful and technical. Here’s a simplified overview of the steps involved:

1. Design Creation: The journey begins with your design. We work with you to ensure your artwork is print-ready, taking into account factors like color separations and resolution.

2. Screen Preparation: Each color in your design requires its own screen. We create these screens by coating them with a light-sensitive emulsion and exposing them to light with your design. The areas blocked by your design remain unexposed, allowing ink to pass through.

3. Ink Application: The screens are then aligned on the printing press. Ink is pushed through the mesh onto the fabric, layer by layer, with each screen adding a new color.

4. Curing: Once the printing is done, the shirts are passed through a dryer that cures the ink, ensuring it adheres properly and won’t wash out.
