Screen Printing:
Method in which ink is applied directly to the surface to be printed (substrate). The image to be printed is photographically transferred to a very fine fabric (the screen) such that the non-printing areas are blocked off and the fabric serves as a stencil. The ink is wiped across the screen to pass through the unblocked pores and reach the substrate. For each color to be printed a separate screen is prepared and the process is repeated.
This Process is suitable for making limited edition art prints on paper or wood, custom apparel and accessories, as well as custom art for skateboards. There is no comparison to the handmade quality of screen printing, and the care and time that goes into each and every print is unmatched.
Materials suitable for screen printing include:
- Paper (All kinds of paper)
- Apparel (Shirts, Scarves, Sweaters, Hats)
- Bags (Pouches, Backpacks, Totes, Canvas)
- Wood (Skateboards, Signs, Cradled Panel, Artboards)
