PROCESS OF SCREEN PRINTING
Screen printing is a print process where a design is transferred to a substrate by way of a screen. Inks are transferred through a screen to the garment to achieve the desired result. This involves exact pressures, specialized inks, and heat curing. The result of these processes is a long-lasting design.
The following is a step-by-step procedure of the screen-printing process:
1. Conceive artwork and send it to the computer for processing of a composite proof that specifies the colors, size, and location
2. Create output film on vellum paper and make into screens
3. Preregister artwork and check it for detail and quality 4. Coat the screens with photosensitive emulsion.
