Silk screen printing from Pakotek in Ukraine
Silk screen printing is a technique that involves applying an image to a material using a stencil fixed on a special grid. Through the holes in it, the paint gets onto the fabric and leaves a clear imprint on the material. This method allows you to quickly apply logos, emblems or illustrations without excessive costs, however, it is relevant for large and medium runs. It is in this case that this method is economically justified, taking into account the laboriousness of the process.
Silk screen printing is actively used for branding and creating advertising products. To apply the image, specialists use: – a machine and printed forms-stencils; – as well as paint and a squeegee. Print preparation begins on the computer. The designer carries out color separation of the layout, and special equipment displays films for further illumination of the printed forms. After the preparation of the latter, the specialist proceeds to illuminating the images.
