Formerly known as silk screening. This method uses a porous screen of fine silk, nylon, or stainless steel mounted on a frame. A stencil is produced on the screen then ink is applied on the screen with a paint-like consistency spreading and forcing it through the fine mesh openings with a rubber squeegee. Once the image has been transferred and the printing is complete, the next procedure is to cure the ink. Curing the ink is done with specific equipments like a flash dryer, textile dryer. Once the ink is dried the image will last through multiple washings. This is a widely used method in the production of clothes like shirts and other garments.
For large orders with a single-color and larger designs, this would be most economical. Screen prints are tough and sturdy and would take some time for the colors and texts to become dull and unclear.
With the latest fashion trends, designs with multiple colors printed on garments wil require separate screens to be used for each color. This would increase the cost of the end product. To reduce the quantity (under 24 pieces) would not be economical as well.
Cost vary depending on the garment, quantity, and number of colors in the design.
