Screen
printing is a traditional method of producing
printed clothing and printed workwear.
In order to screen print an item the design
has to be separate into the component colours.
This is done by vectored design programs
such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw.
Each colour has it's own screen and the
fine mesh of the screen allow the colour
to pass through onto the garment.
Screen printing is the best way to print
larger volumes of clothing.
We
offer a digital printing service for smaller
orders.
What
is the best file format and resolution for
your artwork?
The best file format to send your artwork
in is an AI. (Adobe Indesign) file or high-resolution
PSD file.
This
means your resolution should be at 300 DPI.
If
you can’t send your artwork as an
AI or high-res PDF, the next best way is
a vector PDF
or a high-resolution PNG or JPEG. If you
send artwork files this way,
make
sure they are saved at 300 DPI and
at the size you want your print to be.
By sending the logo you want as a 3”
x 3” left chest over as a 3”
x 3” file,
your artwork won't be pixelated being
scaled up to a bigger size.
