What is Custom Screen Printing?

Custom screen printing has been a part of apparel printing industry for more than 25 years. The custom ink offers two different types of printing that best suits your artwork.

Screen printing is best for such designs which comparatively need a high level of vibrancy when printed on dark shirts of specialty products.

As compared to digital printing, the ink applied in screen printing is thicker, resulting in bright colors even on dark colored shirts. Some of the products can be printed by hand as the screen printer can also manually handle the uneven surfaces or curves. With the help of custom screen printing, you can screen print even the material like sweatshirts and athletic apparels. Using state of the art production facility and creative designs you can transform the ideas into custom apparel of your choice.

The Process:

The screen printing process starts with the selection of a design or the image to be printed upon. This work can be done by designers, or you can also create your design using images or templates in the online graphics library. The experienced folks consider the design, choose the colors accordingly and undergo printing with specialized screen printing techniques. The technical staff separates each color into a separate screen, clean it up and prepare it for printing. As the design gets approved the experts pass it on to the printers. A stencil is created which is called a "screen," and it is used to apply different layers of colored ink on a printing surface. Each time a single colored is applied using a different stencil which is then combined at the end to give a final look.

Each screen gets the ink of the approved color, and each shirt gets printed in the required color order. The flash drying process used in screen printing between each screen prevents the color bleeding and ensure excellent quality. The finished product is then dried for 20-25 seconds at 380 degrees Fahrenheit in any of the conveyor dryers. This process ensures an even curing of ink to the fabric and keeps the design free of crack, peel, fade or wash off.
