Screen Printing, also known as Silk Screening, is a badass way of printing graphics on t-shirts that uses dense inks that lie on top of the shirt rather than soaking into it. Many businesses use screen printing, which was once the only viable option for producing large quantities of personalised t-shirts.
Screen printing, which uses thicker inks, is better for graphics that only use one or two ink colours. Screen printing, rather than DTG, can make these colours jump out at you like a jack in the box. When touched, the dense ink has a gentle feel and can create an incredible appearance.
Screen Printing needs a few colours for your t-shirt that makes it beautiful and functional.
Screen – Have a look at the screen and mentally picture a rough sketch of how it looks. Take a screen and start preparing it. Cover the screen with a layer of emulsion that will prevent ink from coming through. The colors will not affect the final printing process. The final set up is ready for silk screening.
Color – Start with mixing the colors that will suit your preferences. Make use of inks of the highest quality that are made to last a long time. The inks used should be very dense, ensuring that the design can turn out beautifully. This is where the magic takes place.
Press – Shirt is silk screened at the press. The t-shirt is draped over a device that looks like an ironing board. The design is synchronized with the lasers on all of the shirts is in the same place. Then dump the custom ink mixture on top of it and easily transfer the ink from one end of the silk screen to the other using a rubber squeegee. Mix a pattern of colours as per your wish until the t-shirt soaks up the ink and design starts to appear.
Silk screening is performed entirely by hand. This printing method is ideal for artwork with just a few colours. A silk-screened t-shirt can be identified. If you brush your palm through the paint, it will smear. It will have a lifted appearance. This is attributed to the fact that the dye was applied to the front of the t-shirt. Silk screening is a highly customised task, so it can take some time.
