Screen Printing Process
More about screen printing:
Screen printing is a bit more involved than just using a stencil and some ink. The screen has to be prepared and set up.
This involves aligning the screen with the equipment and making sure everything is in place before beginning the printing process. Screen printing can be done by hand or with a machine.
That’s why designs with more colors are costlier; they require more time to set up and longer production times. But in the end, it’s worth it for a professional, high-quality look.
