SILK SCREEN PRINTING

IMG_5124

Screen printing uses inks to imprint a design onto a shirt, sweatshirt, apron, or fabric item. The basic process involves squeezing inks through one or more sheer fabric screens onto the garment. The number of screens needed for a design depends on the number of colors in the design. Each layer of ink is precisely pushed through, using the correct pressure for the design, ink type and texture of the garment being printed onto.

We heat-cure our screen printed items in a conveyor oven. This chemically bonds the inks to the garment, giving a long-lasting, durable design that washes and wears well, and that usually outlasts the garment it is printed on.
