Screen Printing
What is Screen-printing?
Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate. A squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. One color is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multi-colored image or design. The ink is then cured with heat. When done properly, this method creates the most durable and highest quality print available on textile surfaces.
