What is screen printing?
Screen printing is where the ink is pushed through a screen with a squeegee onto the garment. Screens are made by producing positive, clear films of the customers' artwork and exposing the screen to UV light, what we call burning the screen. The screen is washed out leaving only areas that were exposed to the UV light, which is the artwork. This process will work with halftone dots and shading, but it is more limited than offset printing due to the screen itself and the fabric on which it is printed.
We find that the best results are achieved with screen printing when the art work is composed solid areas of color. For more complex designs we offer different process methods such as 4 color process, and digital printing.
Complex web effects produced in Raster based design programs such as Photoshop do not usually transfer well if the image is made of millions of colors.
