Screen Printing

THE ART OF SCREEN PRINTING

Screen printing is an intricate process that requires artwork to be separated out into the different colours. A separate screen is prepared for each colour using light sensitive emulsion and are then exposed to UV light to create a stencil for ink to be pushed through. Each colour is then printed using a different screen. We then aligned the different screens on the print carousel to ensure that the colours are lined up perfectly. Next we add the inks. Our screen printer loads the garments onto the platen, which we then move under the screen. The squeegee transfers the ink through the stencil and onto the garment. Lastly, we unload the garment and pout it through a conveyor drier to cure the inks.
