How Screen Printing Works

Screen Creation

Each color in the design is separated and transferred to an individual mesh screen coated with light-sensitive emulsion. The screen is exposed and washed out to create a precise stencil, ensuring sharp edges and consistent registration.

Ink Application

Ink is forced through the screen using controlled pressure, depositing a uniform ink layer onto the garment. This process produces high-opacity, color-accurate prints ideal for athletic and team apparel.

Heat Curing for Durability

Printed garments are cured at specific temperatures and dwell times to fully bond the ink to the fabric. Proper curing prevents cracking, peeling, and premature fading.

Digitizing
the Design

Artwork is converted into a stitch file that defines stitch type, direction, density, and sequencing. Proper digitizing ensures clean detail and minimizes thread breaks.

Stitching Process

Automated embroidery machines stitch the design directly into the garment using high-strength thread. This creates a textured, dimensional finish ideal for logos and lettering.

Thread &
Material Control

Thread type and stitch density are selected based on fabric weight and garment structure to maintain clarity without distortion.
