Screen Print
Printing involves the application
of colour normally by ink. The traditional method of producing printed
T-shirts and printed workwear is screen printing. In order to screen
print an item the design has to be separate into the component colours.
This is nowadays done by vectored design programs such as Adobe
Illustrator or CorelDraw. Each colour then has a separate screen
produced using light reactive chemicals. The screen consists of
a very fine mesh surface. Where the chemical has been exposed to
light the chemicals breakdown and are washed off leaving spaces
in the mesh.
The ink can then be screen printed
onto the t-shirts direct or onto transfer paper which is later applied
to the T-shirts by a heat press. If the direct printing method is
used, the T shirts are place on a solid board (platen). The colours
are then applied individually by placing the screen manually or
automatically on top of the T-shirt and forcing the printers ink
through the relevant screen onto the T-shirt.
