Custom Decals

In screen-printing, screen fabric is stretched over a frame.

The grade of the screen fabric and the weight of the fibers

are determined by the print resolution and the viscosity of the

ink. The template coating is then applied to the screen fabric

either manually or photomechanically. The actual motive to

be printed can be anything at all. For example, the template

material could be a light-sensitive emulsion. If a printing

film on this coated screen is then exposed, the emulsion on

the exposed areas hardens and the unexposed areas can be

rinsed clean with water.

A rubber squeegee draws ink across the screen, transferring

it through the mesh of the fabric onto the desired material

wherever the screen is not coated. The screen is then lifted

away and the print is ready.

 

 


Flexography is a high speed printing process that uses flexible plates made of rubber or plastic. The inked plates have a slightly raised image and are rotated on a cylinder to transfer the image to the substrate.

The Benefits of Flexo-Printing

Very economical.

This system can be well suited for a wide variety of materials including paper, plastic, acetate film, polyethylene, and newsprint.

In addition to creating full-color materials, most flexographic presses accommodate laminating and die cutting processes to protect the product's final shape and size

Flexo-Printed materials are not weather proof, therefore only indoor use is recommended.

Flexo-Printed inks will vary slightly in color from our standard screen printed inks.
