screen printing
Long-lasting. Vibrantly colored. Proven.
Screen printing is one of the oldest and highest-quality textile printing methods . It stands for high durability , vibrant colors , and a robust print layer – perfect for shirts, hoodies, and long-sleeved shirts that are worn frequently.
What is screen printing?
In screen printing, ink is pressed directly onto the fabric through a fine-mesh screen . Areas that should not be printed are blocked by the screen. Each color is applied separately and then dried or fixed.
The result is a very durable print that is deeply embedded in the fabric.
This is how the screen printing process works

The design is divided into individual colors.

A separate sieve is created for each color.
-
The paint is pressed through the sieve using a squeegee.
-
The print is dried and fixed.
-
The process is repeated for each color.
This process ensures uniform color surfaces and long durability .
