The Screenprinting Process
Screenprinting involves a thick ink called plastisol, a mesh screen, and a squeegee. A light-sensitive substance called emulsion is used to coat the screen. It hardens in the shape of your design to either block or allow ink to go through the screen in different areas. This controls where the ink makes contact with the shirt. Many designs require multiple screens to print one finished item, especially when the design requires multiple colors or contains a detailed or photorealistic design. The stenciled screen is put on a press directly on top of your shirt. Ink is applied on top of the screen, and then a squeegee passes over the screen, either by man or machine, to push the ink through the screen to make contact with the shirt below.
After the ink is deposited on the shirt or other item, the ink has to cure. Heat is applied to transform the ink from a putty-like state into a permanent, solid form that will stay on your shirt for many washes. The process is repeated for every item in the order. Once your entire order has been printed and cured, it is packaged up and ready for you!
