The Process A-Z (Quick Version)
A design is created in Adobe Illustrator (AI file) to ensure that it is outlined (vectorized) and reviewed to ensure that everything is sharp and size correctly. The final design is printed on a transparency and then placed on a screen that has a special photo chemical on it called emulsion. The screen with the design is placed into an exposure unit to shoot a UV light through the screen. After a short time the transparency is removed and the screen is shot with high pressure water, revealing the image that was on the transparency. The screen is then dried, put on the screen printing press, aligned, and after adding some ink, is ready to print onto whatever item is being printed on. The ink on the item is then heated to a specific temperature to ensure that the design does not wash out and prevent cracking.
