What is Screen Printing?

Screen printing basically uses screens and ink to transfer an image or lettering onto fabric. Screen printing creates a durable, long-lasting design that can endure multiple machine washes.

The screen is first cut to create what is essentially a stencil for the design. The ink is then spread over the screen with a squeegee, passing through the “stencil” to the fabric underneath. The ink used for screen printing is extremely thick and penetrates the fabric deeply. After the ink is screened onto the fabric, heat is applied--bonding the ink into the fabric. This results in a permanent bond that allows for multiple washings and dryings without the print being damaged, cracking, or peeling away. However, washing and drying temperatures exceeding 300 degrees could damage the imprint and could result in compromising the ink on uniforms.

Examples of fabric/items that CAN be screen printed: Twill, Denim, Jersey Cotton, Uniforms, T-shirts, Sweatshirts, Sweatpants.

Example of fabrics/items that CAN NOT be screen printed: Nylon, Netting, Mesh, 100% Polyester, Heavily textured fabrics, Towels, Blankets, Watch caps.
