Screen Printing
The screen print process involves several steps before actually getting to the point where we can begin applying ink to the garment, including burning a screen or stencil for each color in the graphic to be printed. Although this translates to setup work for each color, our technology and equipment at Superior Ink allows us to accomplish the job quickly and efficiently.
