The
first requrements before we can start screen printing is a graphic
art. Graphic art is computer generated design ready for filming.
It can be the combination of clip art pictures and text. or just
a simple scetch. We usually produce a number of different designs
that we present to out customers. After design is picked we do
colour separation and produce laser films needed for deveoping
of the screens. Separate screen has to be developed for each colour
of the design.

Once
we have artwork we then create a film positive by high resolution
laser printer. Separate film is needed for each colour of the
design.

First
we take a screen which has a very fine silk mesh fabric attached
light sensitive emulsion. The screen is then placed in a dark
cabinet for 1/2 an hour so that the emulsion can dry. When the
emulsion is dry we take our positive and place it on the screen
and expose it to imtensive light. Once the screen has been exposed
for the proper amount of time it is removed from the light unit
and is then washed so that the soft emulsion can be removed exposing
the mesh holes. After drying screen is ready to be mounted up
on the press.

If
the design is in multile colors we set each screen on the print
stations and register each one so that each color of the design
lines up properly. If the test print is satisfactory we are ready
to run the job.

If
our press set-up, screens and artwork is good the printing is
the easy part. Each garment is placed on one of the stations of
the rotary press and each color of the design is printed. After
all of the colors are printed the garment is places on a conveyor
dryer so that the ink can be cured.
