8 Helpful Tips You Should Know About Screen Printing

Screen printing, also called silk screening, is one of the most popular methods of printing. Today, we are going to share you 8 helpful screen printing tips. By following the under screen printing steps, anyone can be successful in their next screen printing project. Whether creating screen printed T-shirts to sell for a school fundraiser, giving new life to a drab old tablecloth, or simply making something beautiful to hang in a home, screen printing can provide a creative outlet with very practical applications!

1. Create the Artwork

The best way to create artwork is to have it copied onto a transparency. Original artwork can be painted directly onto a transparency or onto any piece of sturdy and clear plastic. If you are a beginner, you'd better create simple designs with fairly clear, thick lines since screen printing delicate, fine-lined artwork can be tricky.

2. Gather the Necessary Materials

Once the artwork has been prepared, it is time to gather the necessary materials and equipment:

Clean Object to Be Printed - The screen printing can be done on anything made from fabric, like a t-shirt, a bag, a hat and more.

Durable Screen Frame - The screen frame is usually made of wood. Metal screens are the most durable and stand up to many printings.

Flat Black Paper or Fabric - It should be large enough on which to place the frame. It is the surface on which the screen is placed to burn the image onto the screen.

Photosensitive Emulsion and Activator - Mix enough sensitizer and emulsion together to thoroughly cover the screen.

Screen Printing Ink - You need to prepare enough screen printing ink to transfer the design to the object being printed.

Squeegee - It is an important tool for screen printing. It is used to apply and spread the ink through the screen onto the object.

3. Prepare the Screen

You should make sure that the fabric is stretched as tight as possible and is secured thoroughly with a staple gun applied all around the frame. It is important to keep the fabric straight so that the holes in the mesh of the fabric allow the ink to pass through it evenly.

4. Apply the Emulsion

First, you should mix enough sensitizer and emulsion together to thoroughly cover the screen. Next, you should place the screen in a dark place to dry. You need to make sure that the emulsion on the screen is dry completely.

5. Burn the Image

Once the emulsion on the screen is completely dry, you should put your screen face down, then place your artwork on the back, and lay a piece of clean glass on top of the artwork. Next, you should place a lump above the screen, turn on your lamp. Make sure at this point you set up your timer! Usually 10 to 15 minutes is enough for this process to be complete.

6. Rinse the Screen

As soon as your time is done, quickly bring your screen to a sink, a shower or tub, or outdoors with a garden hose. This part can take a bit of time, but soon your design will begin to reveal itself! Once the screen is thoroughly rinsed, the design should be visible as a see - through part of the screen, like a stencil made out of mesh.

7. Print

Now the easy part - printing! Take your screen, and place it on top of the fabric or object to be printed. It is important to work on a flat surface so that the image is not distorted. When you are ready to begin the printing process, they can lay the screen down with the substrate side touching the fabric to be printed. Next, run a small bit of ink across the top of the design with your spatula, and holding your screen nice and firmly, use your squeegee to slide the ink down across the image, pressing the ink through the screen onto the fabric underneath. Do this only once or twice, but firmly. Lift the screen up, and you're done!

8. Cure and Clean Up

Some screen printing ink manufacturers recommend "curing," which is placing the printed object in an oven preheated to 400 degrees F for just about 30 seconds. Other ink makers recommend ironing the back of the printed fabric to help set the ink. You should be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations on the ink being used.

Screen Printing vs. DTG Printing - Which Imprint Method is Better?

Looking to get your logo imprinted on some t-shirts, jackets or caps for your next corporate event, or for a team uniform? At NYFifth, we offer a few imprint methods like screen printing, custom embroidery, direct to garment printing (DTG) on all our apparel and accessories. Each one's different, and has its own characteristics. Today, we are going to introduce DTG Printing and screen printing for you. They are among the most popular options, and certainly the more qualitative. Find out which is most suitable for you:

Screen Printing

Screen printing is one of the most popular methods of printing. It is a process that involves pushing ink through a woven mesh stencil onto fabric. The stencil opening creates the space through with the ink will go, to create the design. The ink is then pushed over the mesh, pulled by a fill blade or squeegee. As the blade is pulled, the ink is pushed through the mesh, onto the garment.

Because of the technique of screen printing, only one color can be applied at a time. Therefore, the number of colors on a t-shirt are limited, and each layer demands more time, another screen and stencil, and ultimately, more money. Screen printing is a good choice for simple designs, one solid color, and when you are making many t-shirts of the same design at a time.

DTG Printing

Direct to Garment Printing (DTG) is a method where a printer directly applies the ink onto the t-shirt with inkjet technology. It involves a special printer, which prints the ink directly onto the garment in the desired design. DTG uses specialty inks, which are absorbed by the fibers of the garment.

Since the DTG printer is as precise as well a printer, you are able to print images in much higher detail than screen printing, and you are not limited in color. Because the printer can print any image, customization is simple. This is also a good option for those who do not have a lot of money to make an up-front investment for a large batch because each t-shirt can be ordered separately.

Ultimately, deciding between screen printing and DTG printing is based on your personal preference, budget, time and quality. If you are not sure which imprint method is right for you, get in touch with us. We will give you an honest evaluation and suggest the best option for you.
