The screen printing process starts with a woven mesh or a screen being coated with photoreactive emulsion. Once coated and dried, an image is placed on the screen and exposed to light activating the emulsion. The excess emulsion is washed away to reveal a stencil for printing. The screen is loaded onto the press where ink is flooded over the image and transferred onto the substrate with a squeegee. The ink is cured by either air drying or UV light. Since setup is time-consuming, screen printing is best suited for higher quantities.
One benefit of screen printing is a specified color can be matched with great accuracy by mixing inks. Also, screen printing inks can be combined with metallic flakes to achieve a beautiful sparkle finish. Not only do screen printing inks produce beautiful images, but their weather-resistant quality increases durability and reduces the potential for color fading. From vinyl to aluminum panels to plastics, screen printing can be applied to many materials.
Beginning in 2007, we began offering wide format digital printing as an alternative to the traditional screen-printing method. With its undeniable Eco-friendliness and ability to bypass the pre-press stages of screen-printing, digital printing surpasses screen-printing in speed and cost. It is the ideal method of producing small to medium print runs. Additionally, the quality that digital printing can now offer allows the customer much more flexibility to achieve the desired results.
Digital printing gives you the opportunity to personalize the graphics on your next development, whether it is a small application such as a decal on the side of a toolbox or to graphics applied to the sides of a building. The options of substrates are plentiful to fit a wide range of needs. These options include reflective, non-reflective pressure sensitive and magnetic vinyl, perforated material for window applications, static cling and indoor/outdoor banner materials, as well as poster paper.
