What is screen printing?

Printing on clothes seems like a not so popular and emerging way of printing clothes with various designs. However, printing on clothes has been known since ancient times. Silk-screen printing is one of the oldest methods of printing on clothes that originated in ancient China. Like most technologies, screen printing has changed and evolved. Special mechanisms were developed during the Industrial Revolution, and this method was already patented in Great Britain in the first half of the 19th century. Nowadays, this technology has changed a lot. Computer equipment and special printers are used. In the press production process, the design to be printed is printed on a special photo film by a special device. The design is then transferred onto a frame covered with netting. A grid is then obtained which is used for printing. Finally, paint is applied to the mold. Such printing is particularly durable, has a unique image, and is resistant to environmental processes. However, each design requires a separate grid, so it is recommended to produce items from at least 30 units.
