Screen printing is a textile printing technique that consists of transferring ink through a mesh (screen) onto a garment, blocking the areas that should not be printed with an emulsion. It’s one of the oldest and most commonly used methods for printing designs on clothing.
Digital design: The design is prepared and separated by colors (one screen per ink).
Screen creation (frames): A film is created and exposed onto a mesh screen coated with light-sensitive emulsion. This mesh allows ink to pass only in the desired areas.
Garment preparation: The garment is placed on a flat surface.
Ink application: A squeegee is used to press ink through the screen and onto the garment.
Curing: The ink is heat-cured to ensure it is properly fixed.
Highly durable and wash-resistant.
Solid, vibrant colors, especially on dark fabrics.
Very cost-effective for large quantities, since setup costs are spread out.
For large orders (usually 30 or 50 pieces and up).
When the design has few, solid colors.
For t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, etc., where a professional finish is desired.
Not ideal for designs with many colors or gradients (DTF is better in that case).
Has fixed setup costs (screens and prep), so it’s not cost-effective for small runs.
