Screen printing is a printing technique that involves transferring ink onto a surface through a mesh screen. A stencil is created on the screen, allowing ink to pass through only in specific areas, resulting in a printed design. It is commonly used to print designs, logos, or artwork onto various materials such as fabric, paper, plastics, and more.
Screen printing is often preferred over embroidery when:
Large Design Size:
Screen printing is ideal for designs that are larger in size or require intricate details. It allows for more flexibility in reproducing complex designs accurately.
Vibrant Colors:
Screen printing offers vibrant and bold colour results, especially on darker fabrics or surfaces. It allows for precise colour matching and the use of specialty inks for desired effects.
Cost-Effectiveness:
For larger production runs, screen printing can be more cost-effective compared to embroidery. The setup costs for screen printing can be higher, but the per-unit cost decreases with higher quantities.
Smooth Surfaces:
Screen printing works well on smooth surfaces like t-shirts, sweatshirts, and promotional items made of plastic, glass, or metal. It provides a clean and professional finish on such materials.
Artistic or Graphic Designs:
Screen printing is suitable for designs with solid colours, gradients, and fine details. It offers a high level of precision and can accurately reproduce intricate graphic designs.
