Screen Printing is achieved by forcing ink through a fine mesh screen with a squeegee onto the product and is ideal for branding flat objects.
Advantages
- Large print areas are possible on flat products
- Close PMS matches are possible on white or light-coloured products
- Most screen print inks dry quickly and can be shipped immediately after printing
- Fluorescent, metallic gold and silver inks are available on select textile products
- Many products can print with tight multi-colour registration, with some products able to be printed using up to five colours
Limitations
- Close PMS matches are more difficult on darker products and will only be approximate. In some instances, a white base will create a better print
- Unable to print variable data
- Each colour requires its own setup charge
Artwork Requirements
- Artwork must be supplied in a vector editable format
- Fonts are advised to be converted to outlines/objects to avoid font conflicts
