How screen printing works.
Ink is pushed through the open areas of a stencilled mesh screen onto the material. Each colour normally needs its own screen and printing pass, so the design and colour count shape the production process.
PRINTING METHODS · SCREEN PRINTING
Screen Printing.
Your details, considered.
Screen printing creates bold lettering, strong solid colours and decorative motifs. It suits invitation wording and graphic designs where a distinct ink colour should stand out against the chosen card.
THE PROCESS & THE PRINTED RESULT
Bold colour.
A distinctive impression.
Understand the method, the appearance and the products it suits.
What the output looks like.
Screen printing can lay down a substantial ink layer, giving solid shapes and lettering a strong presence. Opaque inks can help a design stand out on suitable coloured stock. The exact coverage and feel depend on the ink, screen and material.
What you can create.
Invitation text, monograms, borders, logos and decorative patterns are good examples. Designs with clearly separated colours and bold graphic elements suit this process. For photographs and smooth tonal transitions, discuss digital or multicolour printing with our team.
Bring the actual card or material, along with your wording and colour preferences. We can assess ink coverage and legibility. A metallic appearance, foil effect or raised finish should be discussed separately rather than assumed from screen printing alone.
