| WHAT IS SCREEN PRINTING? Screen-printing is a traditional print process where a design or logo is printed directly onto the fabric or garment by way of a mesh screen. The printer will transfer the inks through the screen to the garment with a squeegee to achieve the desired print result. The process involves exact pressures, specialized water based printing inks, and heat curing to result in a long lasting print. We complete our screen printing manually using only waterbased textile inks (which are kinder to the environment) and we have the ability to print from one to six spot colours as well as full colour. We also print and supply a vast range of clothing items from leading promo suppliers such as t-shirts, golf shirts, work wear, hoodies, bags and caps, but we do welcome our customers to supply their own garments if they prefer. |

| Screen printing is long lasting and permanent, the print price is calculated on the colour of the garment used (white garments are cheaper to print), the number of prints positions on the garment and the number of colours in each print (the more colours there are, the more expensive it will be as each colour requires a screen and setup). Screen printing will have a softer feel than a heat transfer print. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
