How Do I Screen Print T-Shirts?
Screen Printing is one of the most popular and durable methods for creating custom T-shirts. It uses precision stencils, layered ink penetration, and controlled pressure to deliver bold, vibrant designs with long-lasting quality. Whether for brand apparel, promotional wear, or sports uniforms, screen printing ensures professional results. At Zhongdameng Digital Technology Co., Ltd., we combine advanced equipment with multiple printing techniques to offer high-quality customization for global clients.
Step-by-Step: The Screen Printing Process
Design Preparation
The process begins with preparing the artwork. A stencil or screen is created for each color in the design, ensuring sharp and accurate patterns.Screen Setup
A fine mesh screen coated with light-sensitive emulsion is exposed to UV light with the design film placed on top. This creates a stencil that allows ink to pass only through the desired areas.Ink Application
Specialized inks, such as plastic paste, puff, thick plate, or phosphorescent inks, are selected based on the fabric type and desired finish. Ink is pushed through the screen with a squeegee, layering it onto the T-shirt surface.Curing and Drying
Once printed, the T-shirt is cured under heat to fix the ink, ensuring long-term wash resistance and vibrant colors that won’t fade easily.Finishing Touches
After printing, the garment undergoes quality checks, and can also include cutting, sewing, packaging, and labeling to deliver a complete product.
