Screen Printing
High Quality Screen Printing Solutions for Fashion Businesses & Designers
A Brief Overview of Screen Printing Process
In screen printing, ink is transferred onto fabric through a mesh screen, except in areas blocked by a stencil. Cloth screen printing is generally popular for its ability to produce vibrant, long-lasting designs with high detail and color accuracy.
In this phase, the design is finalized and prepared for printing. In screen printing, the ink is forced through a mesh screen onto a surface. To do this screen making involves modifying certain areas of the screen impervious to printing ink to create a stencil, which blocks the printing ink from passing through the screen. In this phase, we also send CAD to the customer for their approval, and the sampling procedure goes on. Once we achieve the preferred color, we send strikeoff to customer for their approval.
During the production phase, the prepared screen is placed on the printing press and the material to be printed is positioned under the screen, so it can be RFD/Dyed. The types of screen-printing techniques we follow include pigment, procian, discharge, rapid sole. Shikhar Textiles screen printing facilities include both manual printing by hands and by flatbed printing machine.
Post-production involves finishing touches. The curing, stenter, press and folding procedures are used in pigment screen printing. In the procion printing, silicate, washing, softener, press, stenter and folding processes are repeated. Whereas in discharge there is an addition steaming process and in rapid sole, acid wash softening technique is used.
