Screen printing is an old-fashioned stencil method. The artwork prints onto the material by pushing inks through a stencil on a mesh screen. It then transfers onto the garment. The logo or artwork must be split up into solid colours. A separate mesh screen is arranged for each colour in the artwork.
History of Screen Printing
Screen printing has a long rich history. Stencils have been used to create images for aeons of time. The creativity of man stems from finding ways to cut stencils and apply paint. The evolution of tools enabled the application of paint to be applied to many surfaces. The history begins with walls that were creatively and uniquely painted in the middle ages. Stencilling is very popular today, with screen printing leading the way because of its powerful opportunity for marketing a product, brand or service.
In 900 AD China was using silk screens in their printing systems. Silk was used for stencilling, that was stretched between paper stencils and brushes. The ink was forced through the material.
Then came the time that images were created more rapidly using printers. Screen printing gave rise to the ability to create multi-coloured illustrations. This became extremely significant in the world of marketing, advertising and brand awareness.
In the 1960s, screen printing started to lead the way with a huge amount of popularity. Many artists found that it was their time to shine. Screen printing is an ever-evolving process that now incorporates advanced technology. It is something that every business can turn to for their brand awareness needs. There are many products available through screen printing that can be transformed into a powerful marketing campaign.
