The process uses uniquely shaped and formulated silicone rubber pads to transfer intricate images from photo engraved plates to surfaces which are difficult to reach, non-uniform or irregular.
This decorating tool, combined with the ability of our skilled operators is the answer to any printing challenges you may have.
Screen Printing
The Distinguishing feature of screen printing is the preparation of the film. It is exposed on a photo-film-coated screen to intense light, leaving gaps in the photo coating where there is no image to be printed. Areas where printing should occur is washed out, permitting ink to pass through the screen where it needs to.
-American 4 color rotary textile screen printer
-M&M Research flat bed screen printer
-AutoRoll Cylinder screen printer
-3 AutoRoll screen printing presses (cylinders, flats and ovals)
-AutoRoll 5 gallon capacity screen printer (cylinders and flats)
We start with computer aligned artwork – ensuring multiple color work is printed correctly during the process from high quality film positives.
Depending on the quantity and type of design, a printer either manually or on an automatic press, pushes ink through each of the screens prepared, one for each color. The final step involves drying and curing the ink to make the print permanent.
