Benefits of Screen Printing

In the modern day and age there are so many different ways to print and replicate designs onto garments, however screen printing or silk printing continues to be the number one choice for larger print runs. Screen printing is an age-old process of printing that’s been around for many decades, so why do people continue to favour this method over so many others? Well there are a few factors to consider:

  • Beautiful designs
This technique of printing allows for the use of up to fourteen colours per design, and offers a wide range of effects so you can let your creativity thrive. As the ink sits crisply on the surface, the design really stands out bringing any design concept to life.

  • You can dictate the price based on the design
Screen printing is usually really affordable, but you must bare in mind that the more colours you wish to incorporate the more the process might cost. Basically when your printing on a garment each colour will be processed separately. For instance, a three colour design goes through the process three times, hence the cost will be higher than that compared to a design that has a single colour. For those thinking of ordering customised shirts in bulk the extra colous become less significant.

  • Long lasting 
The quality of the ink used for screen printing is better at bonding to the fabric, which means it’s great for design longevity and can bear harsh conditions without distorting over a long period of time.

Whilst these three factors are some of the most common reasons to why screen printing is still the favoured method, there are still many other factors that individuals may consider.
