Screen Printing

We practice the art of printing a custom design on your choice of substrate. Whether it be apparel, archival paper, tote bags, or masks, we've got you covered. Whatever your printing needs are, we're here to offer help, service and some knowlegde on just how it all works. . . . Screen Printing is a printing technique where the screen mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh areas with ink, and a reverse stroke with pressure then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along the line of contact. This allows the ink to wet the substrate and be pushed out of the mesh as the screen springs back after the squeegee has passed. One color is printed at a time, so several screens are used to produce a multi-colored design.

Workshops

We love to pass on and share our knowledge and experiences with screen printing and design. In our workshops we’ll take you from beginning to end. We’ll start with your design, then burn a silkscreen, show you how to set-up, and then how to screen print. We offer workshops for printing on paper and T-shirts.
