One of the methods we use to print your graphics on our shirts is screen printing. Similar steps are taken while screen printing, however instead of coloring the stencil in sections, the entire picture is prepared and put into the garment all at once. Although the stencil-making process takes some time, once it is finished, numerous shirts may be created fast (either manually or mechanically). As a result, we use screen printing for our bigger orders (ten or more shirts).

A Brief History

Between 960 and 1279 AD, screen printing is thought to have first appeared in China. When combined with block printing and hand-applied pigments, it was further perfected after being adopted by Japan and other Asian nations. Sometime in the late 18th century, screen printing was introduced from Asia to Western Europe, but it wasn’t until silk mesh became more commonly available for commerce from the East and a lucrative market for the technique was identified that it was generally employed or accepted. In 1907, Samuel Simon in England was granted the first patent for screen printing. At first, it was used as a well-liked method to print pricey wallpaper on luxurious textiles like linen and silk. Western screen printers evolved a covert strategy.

Technique

In order to print on a garment, screen printing entails forcing ink through woven mesh from a blocking stencil. Both amateur and professional printers commonly use a screen printing press to efficiently print several copies of a screen design on clothing. The ‘flat-bed,’ ‘cylinder,’ and popular ‘rotary’ presses are the three most prevalent types of screen printing presses. Printing presses are available from basic to complex types from a variety of firms. A handful of these presses are industrial-grade automated printers, which need little to no manual labor and vastly enhance productivity even though the majority of these machines are manually controlled. This method is used by our firm to print the shirts, guaranteeing the finest quality for your purchase in terms of both the shirts and printing.
