The Process of Screen Printing

London Screen Printing, also known as silk screening, is a versatile printing technique that involves creating a stencil (or screen) and using it to apply layers of ink on a surface. This method is highly favoured for its ability to produce vibrant colours and intricate designs with remarkable durability. At Screen 27, we employ both manual and automatic screen printing methods, ensuring that each project receives the attention to detail it deserves.

1. Design Creation: The process begins with the creation of a design. Our talented graphic designers work closely with clients to turn their ideas into digital artwork. This step ensures that every detail is meticulously planned before moving to the next stage.

2. Screen Preparation: Once the design is finalised, it is transferred onto a screen coated with a light-sensitive emulsion. The screen is then exposed to light, hardening the emulsion and leaving the desired design areas transparent. This creates the stencil through which the ink will pass.

3. Printing: The prepared screen is placed onto the printing press, and the chosen surface (such as a t-shirt, poster, or tote bag) is positioned beneath it. Ink is then applied to the screen and spread evenly using a squeegee, allowing it to pass through the stencil and onto the surface. This process is repeated for each colour in the design, resulting in a beautifully layered print.

4. Curing: After printing, the ink must be cured to ensure durability. This involves heating the printed item to a specific temperature, allowing the ink to bond with the material. The result is a long-lasting, vibrant print that withstands wear and washing.
