Let's get started with the basics: what is screen printing?

Screen printing is a professional printing technique where a stencil (or "mesh") is used to apply layers of ink onto a surface. Whether it is t-shirts, homeware, or accessories, this method is the industry standard for creating durable, vibrant, and high-quality designs.

The process involves creating a stencil on a fine mesh screen. Specialised ink is placed on the screen and forced through the mesh openings using a squeegee. The ink transfers directly onto the garment, where it is later "cured" under high heat to ensure the design stays permanent and won't fade or crack over time.

Many customers choose screen printing as their primary customisation method because it offers:

1. Exceptional Durability: The ink sits deep in the fibres, allowing the garment to withstand hundreds of washes while maintaining its colour.

2. Vibrant Finishes: Unlike other methods, screen printing allows for thick, saturated colours and speciality effects like metallics, neons, or "puff" textures.

3. Bulk Efficiency: It is the most cost-effective solution for large orders. Once the initial screens are set up, the printing process is incredibly fast and consistent.

4. Versatility: While famous for t-shirts, it works seamlessly on hoodies, tote bags, posters, and even wood or metal.

In short: Screen printing is the "gold standard" for professional apparel, delivering a retail-ready finish that promises fast, effective results and unmatched longevity.

As previously touched upon, Screen printing is a technique of t-shirt printing that utilises a woven mesh screen and ink-blocking stencil to create the desired image. But what exactly does the process consist of?

First, the open areas of the mesh on the screen stencil allow for the transfer of ink as it is pressed onto the substrate, resulting in a sharp-edged image every time. By substrate, we mean the item or garment that you want to be printed on! 

Next, we use something like a squeegee to move across the stencil and force the ink through the mesh openings to hit the substrate. The ink remains once the screen is removed from the substrate, leaving the designed image or design printed perfectly.

We recommend screen printing for larger-scale projects, for example, garments for staff uniforms, promotional events, and small businesses looking to sell their designs. This is because we can print around 700 T-shirts in just one hour, using up to 10 colours. Results are fast and effective with screen printing, so we will always recommend it to our customers if it's suitable for your needs.
