The Brief Description of Screen Printing
The process begins with the "camera ready" art work. This may be created by hand or with the aid of a computer. A seperate film positive is made for each "color" to be printed.
Using a stretched 'silk-like' screen mesh on a frame that is coated with a photo-sensitive emulsion, we expose the screens with the films using ultra-violet light. Each screen is exposed, developed, inspected and "touched-up" by hand. One screen must be made for each color in the design to be printed.
The finished screens are secured to the screen press. Each color is registered to the item that is to be printed in the color order best suited to rebuild the original design.
With the screens in place, the ink is applied to the screen and printed with the aid of a squeegee. After all the colors have been printed, the ink is then cured. This may be accomplished by oven, heat press, or air dried, whichever method that particular ink requires.
Our methods are traditional and effective!
Art is created and the printing begins. We have manual and automatic printing presses run by skilled people that have been doing this for many, many years. The advantages of their skills and experience are passed on to you, our customer. We strongly believe, "we are only as good as the last job we produced".
If it is athletic logos & numbering, unique placements, soft-hand or heavy deposit printing that you are looking for, we can make it happen.
