Screen printing, or serigraphy, previously known as silk-screening is a
printing technique that traditionally creates a sharp-edged image
using a stencil and a porous fabric. In brief, the screen is made from porous finely woven fabric
held over a frame. Areas of the screen are obscured with a non-permeable stencil which is a positive of the image to be printed (the
remaining open
areas are where the ink will appear). When printing multi-colour logos, a
new stencil is made for each colour and the different colours printed
sequentially. Screen printing is most suitable for logos with 1-4
colours that have no shading or colour gradation.
Before printing, inks are custom mixed to the match the Pantone®
colour references denoted on the Virtual Proof (What
is a Virtual Proof?). Flashbay oven fires printed metallic
components before product assembly to ensure maximum print durability
while screen printing on plastic products always give excellent print
adhesion. We have an in-house screen print
department to ensure your logo is printed to the highest standards by
experienced screen print technicians.
