Screen printing is when a printer uses a mesh screen, ink, and squeegee to transfer a stenciled design onto a flat surface. The printer first creates a stencil on a fine mesh screen, then pushes the ink through it to place the design on the surface.
The basic process of screen printing involves creating a stencil on a mesh screen and then pushing the ink to create and imprint the design on the below surface. The most common surface used in screen printing is paper and fabric, but metal, wood, and plastic can also be used.
The composition of the ink used and the technique itself means the ink forms a strong, hard-wearing bond to the material. This means the printed design retains it’s high-quality throughout washes and wear and tear. It can also be placed on a wide range of materials and products.
During the entire lifecycle of the products we produce, every decision we make during our production is eco-friendly. From the inks we choose, to the way that we produce our items and to also include the way we dispose of and recycle all of our discarded materials.
Screen printing cannot replicate gradient colors or extremely detailed graphics as effectively as digital printing. Also, the number of colors in a design can affect the cost and complexity of the process.
