The Screen Printing Process:  "Turning Your Ideas Into Reality!"

Step 1:  You think it!

We start with the customer's idea or logo.  Next, we send it to our graphic department to start shaping it into the final design.  Upon approval, we then take the final design to our production department to create the screens for each of the colors in the design and then we begin the printing process.

Step 2:  Making of the screens:

A film positive needs to be printed out for each of the colors in a design (3 colors = 3 separate film positives).  These films are then placed on a prepped screen (previously coated with photo sensitive emulsion) and exposed to a 3000 watt metal halide light.  After being exposed, the screens are then washed out with a pressure washer revealing the desired image to be printed.

Step 3:  Printing!

Each color (screen) in the design must be blocked, taped, set-up and then squeegeed.  Screens are attached to a manual printing press in the order by which they will be printed.  Shirts are loaded one at a time onto a printing pallet and each color layer is printed separately.  Shirts need to go through a "flashing" or drying between each color layer before the next color can be printed.
