FAQs

What is Screen Printing?

Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed. One color is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multicolored image or design.

 

What is Embroidery?

Embroidery is the decorating of fabric or other materials with needle and thread or yarn. It is often seen on shirts, hats, jackets and many other apparels. Commercial Embroidery is usually done on multi-head machines producing mass amounts of apparel.

 

What is Heat Transfer?

In heat transfer printing, a design is printed in reverse  on a special release paper. The printed image is then placed against the desired fabric and subjected to high temperature and pressure for a short period of time. After the substrate has cooled, the release paper is peeled away and the image will have been transferred to the substrate. This process is commonly used for "iron-on" decals.
