    How Large Format Printing is Possible

    Large format printing is a beast all its own. In order to provide true large format printing options with quality results, a screen printing shop first and foremost, needs the right equipment. The first three things a screen printer needs to produce large format printing work are:

    1. The Press

    To screen print anything at all, you need a proper printing press. For both manual and automatic presses, the print area is limited by the length of the squeegee, and the squeegee size is limited by the build of the machine. The consistent, even colors on a screen printed garment are the work of the machine. For large format printing, we need - you guessed it - a machine with larger-than-average parts to allow for a larger print area.

    2. The Film

    If you're not familiar with how screen printing works, here's a micro-lesson of the set-up process; your design is "stenciled" onto a fine mesh screen within a framethat holds the mesh taut. But how does the image, pattern, or design get stenciled on the screen? First, the original design is printed on a sheet of film, and the screen is coated with a photosensitive chemical called emulsion. The image on the film blocks light in certain areas and allows light to shine through in others; this allows the emulsion to harden in the shape of the design. The hardened parts block the ink from moving through and attaching to the shirt. Where you can still see the mesh is where your image lives and is where the ink will pass through the screen and then adhere to the shirt or other printing surface.

    Make sense?! Don't worry if you didn't quite catch all that (your shirts will still come out looking just as great)! Because we need film to put your design on the screen, the print can only be as large as the size of the film sheet. The film in generally available in standard sizes, but for larger designs, we have film with a larger surface area.

    3. The Screens

    The screen is the next piece to producing your design. Without a screen, screen printing would just result in a messy, undefined blob. This could be wonderful if you're an abstract artist, but usually it's not what you want.

    The size of your stencil and, in turn, your design, is limited by how large the screen is as well as the film. Large film sheets do no good if the frames being used are too small to fit the entire image. Likewise, a huge frame can still only print your design as large as the print on the film. We also have to consider the type of mesh we use. For larger print sizes, we opt for a particular mesh that creates clean lines and detail that looks great for the particular size of the print.

    The paintbrush in the hands of a novice, though, does not produce the same results as it does in Van Gough's hand. What we mean by that is that these large format printing tools and equipment won't do any good on their own. Quality Eureka, MO large format printing, as with all other types of screen printing, requires skill and craftsmanship. When you need large format printing in the Eureka, MO area, all print shops are not created equal. Some print shops carry the film, screens, and presses capable of large format printing, but don't have the personnel with the skill and experience to for quality large format printing. To produce good large format printing work, we also invest in special inks and meshes and modify our technique to make sure that what we print looks good, lasts, and isn't too heavy or thick.
