How does Screenprinting work?
Ink + screen (mesh stencil) = screen printing! Luckily, the screen printing process itself has very little limits on what surfaces can be used to print on. Staying on trend is easy-peasy with this process, considering all of the awesome ink types available that can manipulate the “look” of the final print. Expert printers (view the process) understand the relationships between the various inks, shirt materials, and shirt colors - with this knowledge, we’re able to help achieve the look you’re going for.
Screenprinting - Technically
One screen (mesh stencil) is used for each color to be printed - screens must be lined up (or registered) and printed on test sheets to ensure that all of the colors line up correctly. Inks are then pushed through the screens one color at a time onto the apparel. Finally, each piece is run through a large dryer to cure the inks.
The Benefits of Screenprinting
More than just shirts: Many people think screenprinting is limited to shirts only - this couldn’t be more false! Here’s the lowdown on what can be screen printed - tote bags/purses, jackets, mouse pads, flags, banners, signs, bandanas, and more.
Custom results: You can get the results you want by manipulating the screenprinting process - we strive to guide our customers through the entire order process in an effort to ensure your expectations are met!
Explore different options: Think you’re limited to a plain old cotton shirt for screenprinting? Think again! There are a ton of great synthetic fabrics out there that work great with screenprinting - polyester, silk, viscose, and more.
