Silk
Screen Printing
Ink is pressed through a fine silk mesh screen onto the fabric surface. Ideal for bold single or multi-color designs at a cost-effective price point. Each colour requires a separate screen, so the technique shines on clean, high-contrast graphics and team logos. Widely used across sportswear, uniforms, and promotional apparel for its durability and vivid colour payoff.
Production Workflow
Phase 01
Artwork Separation
The design is broken into individual colour layers, each of which will get its own screen.
Phase 02
Screen Preparation
A fine silk mesh screen is stretched, coated with light-sensitive emulsion, and exposed to UV light through a film positive — hardening everything except the design area
Phase 03
Ink Application
The screen is locked onto the press, and ink is pushed through the open mesh onto the garment using a squeegee.
Phase 04
Flash Drying Between Colours
Each colour layer is flash-dried briefly so the next screen can be printed on top without smudging.
Phase 05
Final Cure
The garment passes through a conveyor dryer at ~160°C, permanently bonding the ink to the fabric for long-lasting wear.
