is Just What Is Screen Printing?

Your custom design is set up on mesh screens dedicated for each colour required. Operators, using a squeegee-type blade passes specialty inks through the screen onto the garment. The ink is then dry cured through a conveyer dryer raising the temperature of the ink to 320 degrees Fahrenheit.
