What it is

What is Screen Printing?

Screen printing is the time-tested method where each colour in your design gets its own mesh screen, ink is pushed through the screen onto the garment one colour at a time, and the print is cured under heat. It produces a vibrant, opaque, durable print and is the most cost-effective option for high-quantity solid-colour runs.

The trade-off is that screen has high setup costs (one screen per colour), so it shines on jobs with simple artwork and 500+ piece volumes. For 5-colour designs above 2,000 pcs, screen is unbeatable on per-piece economics.

How it is done

The screen printing process

  1. Colour separation. Your artwork is split into per-colour film positives.
  2. Screen exposure. A photo-emulsion-coated mesh screen is exposed under UV with the film positive.
  3. Ink mixing. Pantone-matched plastisol or water-based ink is mixed.
  4. Print stations. A 6-arm carousel prints one colour per station, with a flash-cure between layers.
  5. Tunnel cure. Garment passes through a 165°C curing oven that locks ink to fibre.
