| Silkscreening |
Silkscreening is a great way to advertise your company. It allows
you to imprint your idea in a larger format.
Silkscreening is like a painting. First your image is loaded in to
an art program so that everything is converted to curves/outline.
It is then printed in a negative on to a special film called PMT.
Next a screen is coated with a photosensitive emulsion. The PMT
is placed on it, and then exposed to high intensity light that
causes the emulsion to harden in the areas not covered by a
positive. Each color in the design gets its own film and screen.
After the order is completed the film is stored away for a repeat order
and the screens are reused for the next order.
