What is screen printing?<\/h2>

Screen printing, also known as silk screening or silkscreen printing, is a printing technique that uses mesh as a screen to transfer ink to a fabric, creating designs on it. The silkscreen printing process is a very popular, very common way of printing designs onto clothing pieces. Even with newer techniques in the market now, screen printing still remains one of the most used techniques. Despite how universal it is, there are still misconceptions surrounding it, and these myths play a role in people\u2019s decision on whether or not they should go for this technique. So we are here to debunk 5 myths that might be familiar to you.<\/p>

<\/div>

Debunking 5 Myths<\/h2>

1. Screen printing is only applicable for t-shirts<\/h3>

This has got to be the most widespread myth of all. Perhaps it has come to be that way because of how much this technique is used in printing on t-shirts. But that does not mean that it only applies to t-shirts. Screen printing can pretty much be done on any fabric or anything at all. From jackets, to bags, to canvas, to sweatpants, to even polo shirts too. The world is your oyster when it comes to screen printing.<\/p>

<\/div>

2. Local screen printing is expensive<\/h3>

With the internet, everything is readily available, from goods to services. And screen printing is no different. Some might even say that they prefer using overseas services for screen printing due to competitive prices. But did you know that local printing companies have access to a multitude of resources to actually cut you a better deal? For instance, if you are looking for a silkscreen printing Singapore<\/a> vendor, working with a local company would help save shipping costs and allow direct purchases. In addition, a local printing company may understand your vision and the voice you\u2019re going for more intimately as you\u2019re on the same ground, and they could source a variety of fabrics or articles of clothing to suit your brand better. This reduces the chances of low quality prints that could lead to the need for reprinting.<\/p>

<\/div>

3. Screen printing is an outdated technology<\/h3>

Sure, screen printing existed roughly 2000 years ago. But does that mean that we are still using the same technology from back then? Of course not. Just as humans have evolved throughout the years, so has screen printing technology. While not every person or company involved in this industry does it the exact same way, there are many who have switched to the latest technology to bring higher quality, more precision, and cleaner prints.<\/p>

4. Screen printing is only for bulk orders<\/h3>

This is an absolute myth. Screen printing can be done with any quantity, be it 1 just for you, 10 for your office mates, or 200 for a big event. The reason why people often perceive screen printing to only be suitable for bulk orders is most likely because it is pricier to print just 1 piece than it is to print 1000. Also, when you place a bulk order, sometimes the printing company will offer a wider range of options for you to mix and match like aprons, bags, and towels to print your design and logo. By discussing with the company, you will be able to come to an agreement on the details and possibly get a discount the more orders you put in.<\/p>

<\/div>

5. Screen printing will crack, fade, flake, or peel off<\/h3>

Although this is not entirely wrong, it is not entirely correct either. In the past, screen printing had often resulted in prints that were not as pretty or as neat as we might want them, and also may not last for as long as we wished them to. However, that is all in the past. Today, technology has advanced so far that all of that can be prevented, leaving long-lasting, good quality prints on your clothes, clothing accessories, or any item or fabric that you had been screen-printed on.<\/p>

As you can see, the technology for screen printing or silkscreen printing Singapore<\/a> or anywhere in the world has developed to bring about higher standards to the world of printing. No longer will silk screen printing textile<\/a> need to bear the brunt of terrible print work or require multiple reprints to get it right.\u00a0<\/p>
