2) The screen is prepared – The printer will need to select the right type of mesh screen to suit the stylistics of the design and the texture of the fabrics being used. This mesh screen is then coated with light-reactive emulsion, which will eventually harden as it’s developed beneath the bright light.
3) The emulsion is exposed – The acetate sheet with the design is then placed onto the emulsion coated mesh, and it is exposed to a bright light. This light will harden the emulsion so that any parts of the screen that are covered by the design will remain in a liquid state.
If there is more than a single color being used in the design, then a new screen will need to be used for each color. Each screen will need to be aligned with precision by hand.
4)The emulsion is washed off, and the stencil is created – Once the correct time period has elapsed, all of the areas of the screen that are not covered by the design will go hard. Any emulsion that has not hardened will need to be rinsed away. This will result in a clear imprint of the design on the screen in order for the ink to pass through.
5)The screen is dried, and touch-ups made – Oonce step 4 is complete, the screen will be fully dried and the printer will need to make any corrections or touch-ups. The stencil is now fully prepped and ready to be used.
1) Items prepared for printing – The screen will then be placed onto the printing press. The item is then placed onto the printing board, below the screen.
2) Inking and squeegee – The screen is then lowered onto the printing board, with ink being added to the top. A squeegee is used to pull the ink across the full length of the screen. This process pushes the ink through any open areas in the stencil, which results in the design being imprinted onto the product.
3) Dry, check, and finish – The final stage will see the printed garment or product passed through a dryer. This will cure the ink and ensure a smooth finish. The final product is quality checked and washed in order to remove any remaining residues.
