Screen printing is an excellent printing choice when vivid colors are desired, even on darker materials.  The process of screen printing involves transferring a stenciled design onto a flat substrate using a mesh screen, ink, and a squeegee.  A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh areas with ink, and a reverse stroke causes the screen to touch the substrate briefly along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh openings as the screen rebounds after the blade has passed.  Since only one color can be printed at a time, multiple screens are used to produce a multicolored image or design.  Advanced Converting offers screen printing services on many different substrates.  Please contact us to quote your next screen printing requirement.  Screen printing possibilities at Advanced Converting include:
