Screen printing is a technique for printing graphic designs on T-shirts and other apparel. The set-up for screen printing takes a lot of time and effort. A squeegee is used to press thick inks that give good results on darker colored shirts, shorts and hoodies. The inks do not absorb into the fabric rather it spreads on the top of it. The methods involved in screen printing require several steps like setting up the silkscreens, using different stencils for each color, mixing the colors perfectly, process the shirt through the press, dry it in a dryer and finally get the end results.The whole process of screen printing is done by hand and requires accuracy. Our experienced team of individuals at Ringhope platform handles custom screen printing expertly and intricately deal with every step delivering you the perfect desired final product.

Foil printing is also known as foil stamping. It is a technique that gives a shiny effect on the fabric by using metallic foils like silver, gold and copper. There are two methods by which foil screen printing can be done. In one method, foil adhesives are applied to the fabric that gets pressed with foil paper by a hot steel roller at controlled heat temperatures. In the other method, printing gets done on the foil paper before it is pressed on the fabric by using hot steel rollers. A detachable foil film is used to assist in this process. Ringhope also offers foil printing, so look forward to our services and find out more about us on our website.

Screen printing is remarkably durable and long-lasting if it’s executed accurately. When the thick inks used in the printing gets correctly cured during the heating and drying processes, they become super strong and durable. Therefore, high-quality screen printing would never crack or fade even after the machine washes.

Flat screen printing consists of three methods:1. Hand screen printing 2. Semi-automatic flat screen printing 3. Fully-automatic flat screen printing Hand screen printing requires manual labor more than the other two methods. The semi-automatic method also isn’t as efficient as the fully automatic system. The fully automatic system makes up for the speed and allows the use of more colors simultaneously which allows the process to continue without stopping, unlike the previously mentioned methods that get the printing done in batches.

Both methods are great. Dye sublimation and custom screen printing are both durable and long-lasting. However, which method is better for you depends on some factors like your requirements and budget. For example, dye sublimation is better for smaller projects. It is preferable to use polyester material and is quite beneficial when you need several colors in a print. On the other hand, screen printing is better for larger projects. It is cost-effective. Many ink types can be used to give vibrant effects. Screen printing is suitable for many fabrics other than cotton.

Digital printing is fast and quick. The design is uploaded to the computer that directly prints the design onto the shirts. In order words, digital printing mimics the working of an inkjet printer that allows the printing of millions of colors and patterns onto a shirt. Screen printing is better when fewer colors are involved. Setting up the screen is time-consuming, whereas digital printing doesn’t need such a complex setup. Ringhope offers all types of printing.
