![]() We’ve also put together a video of the process taking place in our workshop, so you can see how we create our top-quality custom screen-printed clothing. Here, we'll talk you through the screen printing process step by step. The form of printing we'll talk about below uses a special light-reactive emulsion to create a custom stencil this tends to be the most popular type of commercial printing, as it can be used to make intricate stencils. There are different methods of screen printing, but they all involve the same basic technique. While the complexity of the process does mean there's a limit to the number of colours the printer can use, it does allow for more intense colouring than is possible to achieve with digital printing alone. When carried out using professional equipment by an experienced printer, it's also possible to create intricate multicoloured designs. This makes screen printing a very efficient technique for creating large batches of custom clothing for sports teams or work uniforms. Because the same stencil can be used to replicate a design again and again, it's very useful for creating multiple copies of the same garment or accessory. The technique is also favoured because it allows the printer to easily reproduce a design multiple times. The ink or paint also lies in layers on the surface of the fabric or paper, which gives the print a pleasingly tactile quality. One of the reasons that the screen printing technique is so widely used is because it produces vivid colours, even on darker fabrics. In the case of multicoloured items, the colours must be applied in individual layers, using separate stencils for each ink. Using a light-sensitive emulsion to create a stencil, which is then developed in a similar way to a photograph.ĭesigns made using the screen printing technique may use just one shade of ink, or several. ![]()
