SCREEN PRINTING

Screen printing, also known as silk screening, is a printing technique where ink is pushed through

a mesh screen onto a surface to create a design. A stencil, or “screen,” is made with the desired design,

and areas that shouldn’t receive ink are blocked off. The ink is then forced through the open areas of the

screen using a squeegee.

TYPES: Water Based Ink, Plastisol, Discharge

TIPS:

• Not all polyester/cotton blends are suitable for discharge printing. It is recommended to conduct

a test before printing.

• Polyester blends, pigment-dyed fabrics and neon colors are heat sensitive and cannot exceed temp

thresholds higher than 310 degrees or shrinkage, bleeding or spot staining may occur.

• Use only low cure materials and a gray barrier base bleed blocker on dark colors.

• Not all 100% cotton products or colors can be discharged (including pigment dyed, neons & white.)

• Polyester-rich fabrics, such as those used in Festival and Ideal, should be cured at a lower temperature,

not exceeding 300 degrees.
