4 Major Advantages of Screen Printing



If you're looking to create a shirt for a loved one or simply want to make shirts for the upcoming company picnic, one of the best ways to do so is to utilize the power of screen printing. It not only looks great on a variety of different types of materials, but it comes with several distinct advantages in comparison to other methods.

1. Durability


There is nothing worse than buying a shirt and then having its logo or picture begin to fade after it has been run through the washing machine a couple of times. This happens because many companies use cheap, cost-effective imprinting methods that don’t hold up well under duress. Screen printing puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the ink, which forces it to integrate straight into the fabric. This results in a product that has incredibly durable graphics and will look brand new for years.

2. Size Adjustment


Many people think it is incredibly easy to put a couple of pictures or logos on some shirts, but if you don't have the proper equipment or enough experience, you can easily mess up the design, especially in regards to its size. Screen printing can easily allow images to be scaled to the exact size that you want. Whether you want a logo of your company across the entire back of the shirt or want a small logo in the corner of the front of the shirt, it can easily be done with screen printing.

3. Wide Range of Options


Screen printing can be done on shirts, banners, hats, and even regular posters! This means it is a fantastic option for businesses that are looking to start a new marketing campaign, as well as students who are looking to create shirts for their sports team. You'll be hard pressed to find another method that can easily accommodate such a wide range of materials.

4. Vibrant Colors


As stated earlier, screen printing is done by putting a high amount of pressure onto ink so it can be deeply imprinted into fabrics. This not only creates products that are durable, but it also allows the colors to be incredibly beautiful and vibrant. Screen printing also allows for greater ink thickness, which means more color pigments can be applied to the fabric. The end result is a colorful product that will be sure to look beautiful for a long time!
