Silk Screen Printing Process
The silk screen printing process initiates with the intricate preparation of a silk mesh screen meticulously stretched over a sturdy wooden frame. Subsequently, a precisely crafted design stencil is adhered to this prepared frame, forming the blueprint for the forthcoming printing. When the garment is carefully positioned beneath the screen, the actual silk screen printing phase commences. Here, ink is skillfully applied onto the screen, and transferred through the stencil via a specialized rubber blade known as a squeegee. This technique allows the ink to permeate the design on the screen, resulting in its seamless replication onto the fabric of the garment, yielding a high-quality, precisely rendered print.
Types of Ink Used
Plastisol inks
This is known for their ability to remain on the screen for extended periods without causing mesh clogs. This ink variant facilitates wet-on-wet printing, expediting production processes significantly. It’s available in various thickness levels, ranging from transparent to highly opaque. Notably, it doesn’t dry out, allowing for prolonged use. Moreover, it’s compatible with both light and dark fabrics.
Water-based Inks
Ink that offers a different set of benefits. These inks penetrate the garment, resulting in a print that doesn’t have a noticeable surface texture. Primarily used for larger prints, water-based inks possess substantial drying capabilities, ensuring effective absorption into the fabric.
