Manual screen printing in Munich

Depending on the type of screen printing, we choose between manual or automated technology. Some experimental special prints can only be printed by hand on a manual screen printing carousel. Color can be mixed in a completely different way and printed on the T-shirt. In this manual screen printing process, we move away from the masses and impress with creative realizations of shirts.

SCREEN PRINTING EXAMPLES FROM THE SCREEN PRINTING ARSONISTS

We can print up to 6 colors in screen printing. In this example you can see the structure of a screen print on a Fairtrade textile from Stanley Stella.

In combination - 3D screen printing with multicolor direct screen printing. Screen printing of course also works on heavy fabrics.

In this example, a 6-color screen print with additional puff base was printed. Details in the design can be highlighted particularly well by the three-dimensional print.

Here we have printed a two-color screenprint on a black textile of Stanley Stella. Pre + underprint in white + the contrast color yellow.

SCREEN PRINTING MATERIAL

Many years of experience in screen printing, a wide range of raw materials, ensures the optimal selection of the appropriate textile to achieve a perfect printing result. Therefore, at the beginning of an order, we carefully select the appropriate raw material. We offer both inexpensive and high quality textiles. The higher the quality of the material, the better the printing result: materials with high quality have fine mesh and so fine details can be better reproduced on them.

SCREEN PRINTING COLOR

Our colors are carefully selected before screen printing, matched to the textile and incorporated in the best possible way to guarantee a comfortable wear on the textiles. We use both water-based pigment inks and plastisol inks. In order to achieve a pleasant feel even on dark textiles, we print with etching inks (Discharge), which remove the color from the fabric. The color-fast reproduction plays a big role on which we attach great importance. Plastisol inks and pigment inks can be mixed and printed according to solid colors such as Pantone® color values.

COLOUR ACCURACY IN SCREEN PRINTING

In the screen printing process it is possible to achieve a very nice color accuracy. The ink can be mixed to match your desired solid colors according to Pantone, HKS, RAL or CMYK.

OVERVIEW OF DIFFERENT SCREEN PRINTING COLORS

WHITE PLASTIC AND WATERCOLOR

Printing white on dark textiles is possible with various ink systems. These include water-based inks and solvent-based plastisol inks. However, the opacity of the color is always important, which is adapted to the design in the given cases. Through the opacity you also have the possibility to achieve certain effects and to design the textile in the best possible way. In this overview we illustrate different possibilities in terms of opacity.

COLOURED PLASTISOL AND WATER-BASED PAINT

To perfectly implement a colored coverage on a dark textile, this works as with pure white printing. Either with an underprint or with a multiple print. You can also control the opacity and achieve certain effects with a small amount of ink. To get a perfect result in the interaction of haptics and coverage, a mixture of etching and regular screen printing is recommended.

DARK PLASTISOL & WATERCOLOUR

Der schwarze bzw. farbige Druck auf helle Textilien ist weit unproblematischer wie auf Dunklen Kleidungsstücken. Auf hellen Gewebe hat man volle Deckung und es muss nicht untergedruckt werden. Dies beeinflusst den Farbauftrag und man erhält eine sehr feine Haptik. Man kann hier wenn gewünscht aber mit entsprechenden Zusatzstoffen eine erhabene Schicht auf das Textil bringen um einen erhabenen Effekt zu erzielen.

TEXTILE PRINTING - HOW IT WORKS

In screen printing, ink is usually printed through a screen using a squeegee. To do this, the screen is exposed with your motif and a screen template is created on the fabric. A stencil is used to make the mesh openings of the fabric impermeable to ink in those areas of the fabric of the screen where no ink is to be printed according to the print image. After creating the stencils on the screen printing frame, we stretch the frames in a so-called carousel and match all the individual colors and areas perfectly. The ink is then pressed through the screen with a screen printing squeegee and fixed to the textile by means of a continuous dryer or intermediate dryer for multi-colored screen printing and thus made durable. A multicolored motif is applied to textiles or other materials in a single pass.

IRIS PRINTING PROCESS in Munich

Thanks to years of experience in screen printing, our team has mastered a variety of different printing techniques. Iris printing is a special type of screen printing and always ensures a visually impressive result with many colors. By mixing the colors with the squeegee directly on the screen itself, the screen printing process also makes it possible to create single or multi-colored gradients. Our printers are specialists in iris printing and will realize your colour gradients with the highest precision using the rubber squeegee.

TONE ON TONE COLOR BY SCREEN PRINTING

Screen printing is perfect to bring tone-on-tone prints on textiles. Screen printing convinces not only by quality and wash resistance on all materials, but also with the largest color spectrum that can be brought to the fabric. The prerequisite for a perfect print result are solid prints.

THE RIGHT CHOICE OF TEXTILE

To achieve a perfect print result, not only the type of print but also the textile to be printed on must be right. High-quality materials also support color reproduction and clear lines of the motif to be printed. In textile printing, cotton is particularly suitable for multi-colored shirts due to its good heat resistance. We will be happy to help you choose the right textiles, whether T-shirts, polo shirts, pullovers, hoodies, bags, hats, etc.

Screen printing on textiles - Is screen printing actually the right technology for me as a customer ?

We select the right finishing technique depending on your printing specifications. If screen printing is not the right technique due to the print run or many printing inks, we will be happy to recommend you all other offers appropriate to the number of pieces and printing process.

What are the advantages of embroidery compared to screen printing ?

In general, one of the main differences between embroidery and screen printing is the feel and look. Wash resistance is consistent with both printing methods and similar effects can be achieved. Feel free to contact our team and we will find the optimal printing techniques.

Screen Printing VS Digital Printing ?

Screen printing is always best for larger print runs, but if the print run is smaller or a print motif has a large number of print colors, digital printing is more suitable. With screen printing, the process of setting up the machines is always very time-consuming and this is reflected in the price, especially in small print runs. In digital printing, small productions from 10 pieces are also conceivable. In screen printing, motifs with a low number of colors are particularly suitable in order to work cost-effectively. A photo, for example, is better implemented in digital printing as the number of colors does not play a role here.

Advantages of screen printing over embroidery

One of the biggest advantages of screen printing over embroidery is its speed. Where a single finishing step in embroidery can take minutes, screen printing prints in seconds, especially in automatic screen printing. In textile printing, screen printing is therefore particularly suitable for large print runs. With embroidery, it is also easier to produce small quantities.

What about colors in screen printing?

In screen printing, solid colors are always used. This gives a uniformly flat print result. Areas of a motif can generally be printed in all conceivable colors. The screen printing colors are particularly radiant and can also be used as special colors. Neon colors, metallic colors or even phosphorescent colors can be implemented in screen printing. We would be happy to look at your motif together and check the best option of all the possibilities.

How does ink actually get through the screen in screen printing?

In screen printing, a squeegee is used to print ink through a mesh that is clamped in a screen printing frame. The ink is pressed onto the textile through the stencil created on the screen printing frame using a squeegee. Screen printing is a printing process that can be printed manually or automatically. Screen printing is often used in textile printing because not only can ink application be well controlled but special colors can also be printed. In our screen printing shop, we offer you all conceivable finishing methods in all print runs.

What is the right type of printing for me?

As a rule, there is no right or wrong, but some factors are decisive when choosing the right type of print. It mainly has to do with the number of colors in the motif to be printed. This has a direct impact on the price and is crucial for effective print production. We offer you all the finishing options in textile printing and work with you to find the best solution. A screen printing process is often suitable for large print runs. For smaller quantities, a digital printing process is usually used. We are your competent partner when it comes to optimizing your textiles.
