Custom Silk Screen Printing

Have you heard about silk screen printing before, but you don’t really know what that is?  Are you curious as to how it works?  Do you want to know how it can be useful to you?  Maybe you’ve been having trouble finding a company that can do custom silk screen printing?  Luckily, the answers to those problems can be found here.

Custom Silk Screen Printing

Custom silk screen printing is when a custom design is applied in special ink to the surface of a fabric.  A silk screen is covered with an emulsion to block the holes in the mesh.  Components of the design are then etched into the emulsion which allows ink to pass through the screen wherever the design is located.  Depending on the amount of colors in the design, there can be multiple screens used for each color.  During printing, the colored ink is dragged across the mesh on top of the garment.  Wherever the mesh is open, the ink will pass through and leave behind the design.  It’s a lot like using a stencil but it requires a lot more effort and precision to execute a top quality print.  So how can custom silk screen printing be beneficial to you?  Just imagine all the possibilities of having custom garments and accessories.  If you are a custom clothing designer, silk screen printing can take your designs to a commercial level.  If you need spirit wear for the team and their families, custom silk screen printing can do that for you too!
