Textile Screen Printing is the technique used to imprint most of our apparel - like t-shirts, sweatpants, and hoodies. Ink is pressed through a stencil on a mesh screen and printed directly on the product, one color at a time. The product is then heated to a specified temperature resulting in a durable imprint that can last for many years.
Why Textile Screenprinting?
Screen printing has the best results on smooth fabrics.
Screen printing is generally the most economical and fastest method of printing textiles.
It is the best choice for large blocks of color, as well as for small type and thin lines.
Although most products have a limited number of imprint colors that can be printed a one time, screenprinting allows for custom ink mixes resulting in an unlimited color range for your imprint.
Full color process can also be printed with screenprinting, although the minimum quantities are higher than digital printing.
There are also many specialized inks available, such as metallic, puff, or glow in the dark.
These products are suitable for textile screenprinting.
