    How Large Format Printing is Possible

    Large format printing is a beast all its own. To be a true, quality provider of large format printing, a screen printing shop first and foremost, needs the right equipment. The major three things a screen printer needs to produce large format printing work are:

    1. The Press

    Screen printing wouldn't be possible without the printing press. Regardless of whether a printer uses a manual or automatic press, the resulting print can only be as large as the squeegee is wide, and the machine needs to be built to accommodate for that a larger squeegee. The smooth, even designs on a screen printed item 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

    Here's a speed lesson of the screen printing process for those of you who aren't familiar with how it works; your design is "stenciled" onto a fine mesh screen within a framethat holds the mesh taut. How does one get that image or pattern stenciled onto the screen, you ask? The image is printed on 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 are where the ink will not pass through. 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 is limited by the size of the film. 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 second ingredient to printing your design. Without a screen, screen printing would just result in a messy, undefined blob. Maybe you're going for an abstract look, but usually it's not what you want.

    The size of your stencil and, in turn, your design, is limited by the screen as well as the film. The biggest sheet of film in the world won't matter if they don't fit withn the screen's frame. Likewise, your frame could be big enough to cover a huge area, but without film in the correct size, the image would end or would simply print smaller than you would liked. We also have to consider the type of mesh we use. For larger print sizes, we opt for a different type of mesh that creates clean lines and detail that looks great specifically in prints of a large size.

    However, the most beautifully crafted violin will not produce the most beautiful sound ever heard if it's in the hands of a toddler. This also translates to large format printing; the right tools won't produce good screen printing work without the right operator. Quality Ferguson, MO large format printing, along with any type of screen printing, requires the touch of a skilled craftsman. Don't turn to just any print shop when you need large format printing for your needs in Ferguson, MO.
