Screen Printing

Screen printing is the art of applying ink to the surface of a clothing item

Screen printing is the art of applying ink to the surface of a corporate clothing or corporate gift item or item by passing ink through a mesh design that has been exposed with the use of emulsion onto a mesh screen. Screen printing is generally used on garments, bags, corporate gifts and certain head wear. Once the ink has been mixed according to your pantone colour requirement, and printed onto the product, i.e. a corporate branded t-shirt, it must be cured to prevent the ink washing out of the garment. The curing process is where the garment is passed through a oven on a conveyer belt at a specific temperature to cause the moisture in the ink to vaporise, and thus fixing the design permanently onto the item that has been screen printed.
