Silk Screen Printers
Have you ever wondered how some of the garments you see in outlet stores came to be? How are they able to create such eye catching prints on clothing? How can they still look so good after many washes? Well, it is all possible through silk screen printing. Silk screen printers are just like any other artists that need to know the ins and outs of the medium they work with. Knowing how to create high quality prints takes time, finesse, and expertise. When done correctly, silk screen printing will produce a long lasting, beautiful custom garment for any occasion.
Silk Screen Printers
Screen printing gets its name from the silk mesh screens that are used in the printing process. These screens are coated in an emulsion that completely blocks the tiny holes in the mesh. The artwork is separated into layers that contain only one of the colors in the design per layer. The layers are then individually etched into the screen, exposing the holes in the pattern of the design. The screens are mounted onto a printing press in sequence and then loaded with the appropriate ink color. The silk screen printers then load the blank garments onto the press and lay the screen over the fabric. A squeegee will pull the ink across the screen, depositing a layer of ink onto the garment. When all of the screens have had a pass of ink, the design is complete and it is ready to be dried and set.
