The Screen Printing Process
Set Up Step
The process begins with creating a design on a computer, which is then printed onto a film. A screen, typically made of fine mesh stretched taut on a frame, is prepared by applying a light-sensitive emulsion. The printed film is placed on the prepared screen, and both are exposed to light. The light hardens the emulsion, except in the areas corresponding to the design.
Preparation Step
Next, the screen is carefully rinsed, revealing a stencil comprised of open areas and hardened emulsion. These open areas allow ink to pass through during printing, while the hardened emulsion acts as a barrier, preventing ink from reaching undesired parts of the material. The screen is then aligned and positioned on the item to be printed.
The Print Step
Ink is applied to the screen, which is spread across the design using a squeegee. As the squeegee moves across the screen, it presses the ink through the open areas, transferring the design onto the material below. The result is a vibrant, high-quality print that is sure to make an impact.
