Screen printing or silk screening is a form of printing that uses a stencil process, a fine mesh screen is coated with a photo emulsion and the design or image is then superimposed or negatively transferred onto the screen creating a stencil for ink to pass through.
Ink is then squeegeed over the screen forcing it through the openings of the stencil causing the design to be transferred onto the printing surface. Thus the entire process is commonly referred to as screen printing.
T-shirts can be supplied by us or by the customer in order to do screen printing.
Please be advised that the dark colored t-shirts are more expensive to print on than the lighter colored and white shirts. If you would require a quotation for screen-printing of t-shirts, golf shirts, sports bags eg. the following must be provided:
