01

Silk screen introduction

Screen printing is a printing technology commonly used to produce various logos and patterns. Its process includes image processing, plate making, printing and drying. The process flow of screen printing will be explained in detail below.

02

Image Processing

Before screen printing, the pattern or logo to be printed needs to be image processed, including image adjustment, cropping, background removal, etc. The purpose of this step is to make the pattern or logo appear more clearly and accurately during screen printing.

03

Printing template making

There are several ways to create printing stencils, the most common of which is using photosensitive stencils. Printing templates requires converting the design into a template that can be used for printing. The process of creating printing templates can be done in-house or outsourced to a professional platemaking company.

04

Mix ink

Screen printing uses a wide variety of inks, and you can choose different colors and special effects according to your needs. Inks must be formulated and mixed to ensure the color and quality of the print is as expected.

Printing is the core step of screen printing. During the printing process, ink is transferred to the printed material through the fine-pore screen mesh. Pressure and speed need to be controlled when printing to ensure that the ink forms a uniform pattern in the correct position. The printing process may need to be repeated several times to achieve the desired effect.

06

drying

Drying is the last step in screen printing. Its purpose is to allow the printing ink to dry completely and fix it on the printed matter. It is usually dried using a high-temperature drying oven or natural drying method.

07

custom made

In addition to the above process flow, you also need to pay attention to the requirements and production cycle of customized logos. First, you need to provide a clear, high-resolution design draft such as pdf format, and confirm the required printing size and material. In addition, you need to pay attention to the choice of colors and fonts, as well as single-sided or double-sided printing, and single-color or multi-color logo printing. These conditions will affect the cost of customization.

Regarding the production cycle, due to the cumbersome process of screen printing, the production cycle is relatively long. If you need customization, please feel free to contact us. It is recommended to contact us directly. We are always available.
