SCREEN PRINTING, Vancouver BC

Screen printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink onto fabric, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A squeegee is moved across the screen in a "flood stroke" to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the fabric momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the fabric 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. Screen printing is a versatile and cost-effective method for decorating apparel. It's particularly effective for bulk orders and designs requiring bold colors on darker fabrics. The quality of the base fabric is crucial for successful screen printing. A high-quality t-shirt not only represents your brand better but also withstands the printing process and repeated washes, ensuring your design stays vibrant for longer. This affordable method is perfect for Custom t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, and other promotional items of your design or branding logos.
