Screen Print

Screen Printing, also known as silk printing is achieved by forcing ink through a fine mesh screen with a squeegee onto the product and is ideal for branding flat objects.

Advantages

• Large print areas are possible on flat products.
• Close PMS (Pantone Matching System) matches are possible on white or light-coloured products.
• Most screen print inks dry quickly and can be shipped immediately after printing.
• Fluorescent, metallic gold and silver inks are available on select textile products.
• Many products can print with tight multi-colour registration, with some products able to be printed using up to five colours.

Limitations

• Close PMS matches are more difficult on darker products and will only be approximate. In some instances, a white base will create a better print.
• Unable to print variable data.
• Each colour requires its own setup charge.

Artwork Requirements

• Artwork must be supplied in editable vector format. (AI, PDF, SVG, EPF)
• Fonts are advised to be converted to outlines/objects to avoid font conflicts.
