SCREEN PRINTING

Screen printing excels in bulk print runs, value for money and a durable print. 

+ Prints on a wide range of substrates

+ Print up to 9 spot colours

+ 4 colour process or simulation screen printing available for certain full colour designs

+ Speciality inks such as glitter, puff, neon, discharge, glow in the dark and metallic are available

​

PLASTISOL INK

The most commonly used screen print ink. The print will be vibrant, opaque, durable, thicker (than waterbased) and can print onto more substrates than waterbased ink.

​

WATERBASED INK

A favourite amongst sustainable brands, fashion brands and clients who want a more lightweight print. This is eco-friendly ink and has a matte, light weight finish, compared to plastisol ink.
