Screen Printing


Have a family reunion coming up? Would you like to create custom products for your loved ones to take home? Screen printing is one of the most popular processes used to create unique products. Businesses often use screen printing when they are creating uniforms for their companies. This is a great way to brand your business and provide you with uniformity. Screen printing can easily help you to create wonderful custom t-shirts that can be used as promotional items for your company. Screen printing is an efficient process and it’s much faster and easier from all the other design processes in the past like the rubbery printing in the 80s and the iron-on transfers from the 70s. Some people still use iron-on transfers because they think its cheaper. The truth is that you can create your own custom t-shirts by outsourcing it to a screen printing company and save money and also come up with a great product that will last for many years.

Screen printing is now the standard in printing for most individuals and businesses. You can create large logos that require multiple screens in order to make the screen impressive and you can stick to smaller logos that may not require as much work to turn them into a creation. One part of screen printing that you need to consider is the materials you are using. You need to pick out materials like cotton or polyester because the screen printing process will work easier and faster. Cotton is a material that is very popular so it’s a sure bet that the people that will be receiving the products will appreciate having cotton.

With everything being digital, screen printing is very easy to use. With digital programs that create vector images, you can change your screen printed t-shirts and other things yearly if you are getting tired of the way they look.

Digital printing can provide you with more control as you can also do an additional step, called auto-matching ink. In the past you needed to come up with the color combination you needed for your shirt and hope that it turned out the way you wanted. Now you can actually mix the color on a digital screen and it will be able to transfer to the machines and to your t-shirt. This provides you with a pure color and you can see what your finished product will look like even before the ink is printed to the shirt.
