Screen-printing is a process where a design, drawing, or other format is converted to film, and the film is then used to produce a stencil on the screen. The inks are then transferred through the tiny dots in the stencil to achieve the desired result.

This process involves exact pressures, specialized inks, and heat curing that result in a long lasting design. Screen printing has a high detailed setup process to ensure the best quality print. The costs of this method is in the set-up process. The number of screens for any design is based on the number of colours of the design. So the more colours you have the higher the set-up costs. However, with this setup and printing process comes a professional product that can be washed without fading. This method is ideal for large quantity customers looking for a professional and durable finish.

Your design is printed (with the help of a specialised colour printer) in mirror reverse on a type of transfer material. The transfer material is A4 sized. The printed material is placed face down on the garment and pressed under high temperature. The dyes from the transfer embed deeply into the fabric and bond permanently. The transfer paper is then removed.

Dye Sublimation Transfers are only available for surfaces that are white or light in colour and contain polyester or a high polyester content. Such as stubby coolers, some poly/cotton hoodies, sweats, polo’s and hi-visability work wear.
