Screen Printing

This printing method is mainly used in the textile sector, but also works for other materials such as PVC, aluminium or leather.

Screen printing is a printing process based on stencils. The process requires several steps. First, the films must be made (one film per colour) using a flasher. These individual films are then separated onto screens (one screen per colour) on a printing press. Screen printing uses a silk weft stretched over a frame (only the front stitches let the ink pass through, and they are not blocked by a varnish). First, the print medium is placed under the screen that is inked using a scraper. One screen is required per colour. For designs or logos using the CMYK model, it is precisely the mixture of cyan, magenta, yellow and black in specific proportions that reproduces the image. For line prints, the graphic charter is followed using your Pantone references.
