How Screen Printing Works

Also known as silk printing, the process starts with a design. The design is printed onto an acetate film, which is used to produce the screen or stencil that will transfer the design onto the chosen product(s).

Once the stencil is created, a screen is lowered onto the product, which is on the printing board (this applies to things that can lay flat). Ink is added on top of the screen and is squeegeed across the product. This distributes the ink through the stencil and onto the product. Special washing fluid is used on the product, and it is heated for curing.

Other Printing Methods Available From Affordable-Printing

Direct-to-Film (DTF) Printing

DTF Printing

Direct-to-film (DTF) printing is a game-changer in the world of screen printing, providing a revolutionary way to administer heat transfers onto fabric. It involves printing a digital design onto a special film that is then heat-pressed onto the desired garment. The result is a crisp, durable, and highly detailed image that can withstand multiple washes without fading or cracking.

Unlike traditional screen printing, DTF eliminates the need for pre-treatment of fabrics and is capable of producing vivid full-color images with a soft-to-the-touch feel. This technique is perfect for businesses looking to produce smaller batches of custom apparel with intricate designs, as it offers flexibility and efficiency without sacrificing quality.

DTG Printing

Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing is the epitome of detail and efficiency in fabric personalization. This cutting-edge process prints high-resolution images directly onto garments. DTG technology is ideal for clients looking for full-color graphics with a photo-quality finish, delivered with sharp details and a vast spectrum of colors.

Not only is DTG fast and cost-effective for small batches or a large order, but it has a softer hand feel on the fabric – perfect for those seeking comfort without compromising on the sophistication of their designs. Whether it’s for a complex artistic illustration or a detailed brand logo, DTG printing breathes vibrant life into your apparel.
