The screen printing process is very simple and is built for medium to large printing runs. It is mainly used for textiles and pens.
A mesh (or screen) is painted in a reactive substance, and the artwork is printed on transparency and placed on the mesh. While in place the screen is then exposed to UV light which hardens the areas which are not covered. This leaves the area under the artwork permeable. The screen is washed and looked over for small errors.
This process is repeated with different shapes to put together multiple colour logos or branding.
After all the screens are made, they are placed on a printing carousel in sequential order with a colour and pattern on each. The machine then rotates and presses a dye across the screen at each point, forcing dye through and onto the textile.
This is a very accurate and reliable was of producing branding in high detail.
