T shirt printers- Silk Screen Printing

Screen printing is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily aacid resistant long a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed. One colour is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multi-coloured image or design.

This is the most common technique for printing T-shirts. A screen is made for each colour that one wants to be printed onto every side of the shirt that you want printed. The screen has an open area’ of where the ink is allowed to go through and be applied to the shirt, cap or whatever is being printed. Once printed the printed garment is cured in a heat tunnel or heat press so that the image will not wash out or fade. We can print up to 8 spot colours and will shortly upgrading that to an unlimited amount. We also print full colour using the CMYK process system ,simulated process system or index system
