According to the Printer’s National Environmental Assistance Center, “screen printing is arguably the most versatile of all printing processes.” Why? The equipment is accessible, affordable, and adaptable, and in the right hands, both high-tech and low-tech methods are effective.
Did you know? Screen printing has also previously gone by several other names. The most common alternative names are silk-screen printing, serigraphy, and serigraph printing.
In terms of modern use, artist Andy Warhol is credited with popularizing screen printed art and materials during the 1960s. His bold, graphic designs inspired an entire generation of artists to discover and experiment with screen printing designs, tools and equipment.
Fast Screen Printing Facts: By 1918, the new process known as screen printing was becoming a popular method for producing multicolored posters, ads and signs. Until the 1930s, the process, tools and materials were highly variable and left up to the artist’s discretion.
If you have a manual press, but would like to increase your production speed, then you may want to look into an "All Heads Down" press. This means that multiple heads can go down at the same time, so you can have someone at each station.
Screen printing inks can be thinned to produce both transparent and opaque words and images. Transparent images work best on light colored paper or fabric, while opaque ones are dramatic and effective on either light or dark backgrounds.
Did you know that different colors of printing inks have various densities? For example, white ink is often extremely dense, while blue ink can be so thin that it is difficult to push through the mesh. Becoming familiar with the qualities of each type of ink is essential for successful prints.
Custom printed t-shirts, hoodies, or sweatshirts can be a fun way to show support for your group, but they can also be a promotional tool. If dates for an event are printed on a shirt and they are worn ahead of time, they can be great advertising for the event.
To achieve the best results, the screens must be tight and the off contact distance correct for each screen printing job. These two aspects will improve ink flow, reduce ink waste, and deliver better consistency throughout the print run.
