Screen printing uses a plastisol ink pushed through a synthetic mesh screen by a squeegee to create your image. A unique screen must be made for each color element of your design. The individual screens are then registered and printed layer by layer onto the garment. The final step is to cure the ink in a textile dryer, which bonds it to the shirt.
