SCREEN PRINTING FAQ's

Step 1: You think it!

The journey from idea to t-shirt is a detailed one. We start with the customer's idea or logo, next we send it to the art department to start shaping it into the final design. Upon approval, we then take that final design to our production department to create the screens for each of the colors in your shirt and begin the printing process

Step 2: Making the screens

A film transparency needs to be printed out for each of the colors in a design (3 colors = 3 separate film transparencies). These are then checked for detail and quality. Once the transparencies are ready, the screens are prepped.

- Each screen is coated with a photosensitive emulsion. - Next, the screens are dried and placed on the vacuum light table and exposed with a 3000 watt metal halide light. - After being exposed, the screens are then washed out with a pressure washer at around 1300 psi. Once the image is washed out, it is double checked with the transparency films for accuracy and quality.

Step 3: Printing!

Each color (screen) in the design must be blocked, taped, setup, and squeegeed. Screens are attached to a manual printing press in the order by which they will be printed. Shirts are loaded one at a time onto a printing pallet and each color layer is printed separately. Shirts need to go through a “flashing" or drying between each color layer before the next color can be printed.
