Through developments in the digital print world, screen printing is becoming less widely used. It does however still have a place amongst certain applications, particularly longer run, minimum colour work.
A screen is created for each area of colour for every design. Colour is pushed through the screen with a squeegee, which puts down quite a thick layer of ink to the substrate below. This volume of ink gives screen printed graphics their excellent light fast qualities.
It is a relatively time consuming process, and can be quite expensive for jobs of many colours and varying designs, but the finished product affords a greater life expectancy than most other print processes.
