At Jet Sport, we offer screen printing, also known as silkscreen printing or serigraphy, as a reliable and cost-effective branding option for products and organizations.
Screen printing is known for its excellent stretchiness and durability, making it a great choice for logos and other designs that need to withstand wear and tear. One of the biggest advantages of screen printing is its affordability on large orders. If you're looking to produce a large quantity of branded items, screen printing is a cost-effective choice that will still deliver high-quality results.
Whether you're looking to promote your business, create custom gifts, or just want to add a personal touch to your wardrobe, screen printing is a versatile and reliable option that can bring your vision to life.

The process involves several key steps:
1. Design Preparation: The process begins with creating a stencil, typically made of fine mesh stretched tightly over a frame. The design to be printed is then transferred onto this mesh screen. Modern methods often use photosensitive emulsions or computer-generated stencils to achieve precise designs.
2. Screen Preparation: Once the design is ready, the screen is prepared by blocking out the areas not meant to be printed using a light-sensitive emulsion or a blocking agent. This creates a negative of the desired design on the screen.
3. Ink Application: The screen is placed over the substrate (such as a t-shirt or paper), and ink is applied to the top of the screen. A squeegee is used to spread the ink evenly over the screen, allowing the ink to pass through the mesh and onto the substrate in the areas without the blocked-out stencil.
4. Curing or Drying: After the ink is transferred, it needs to be cured or dried depending on the type of ink used. This could involve air-drying or using a heat source to cure the ink and ensure its permanence on the material.
Screen printing offers several advantages:
Versatility: It can be used on a wide range of materials.
Vibrancy and Durability: The prints are usually highly pigmented, resulting in vibrant colours that are long-lasting.
Great for Bulk Printing: It is efficient for large production runs due to its ability to produce consistent prints quickly.
However, screen printing also has some limitations and is not suitable for intricate details and here at Jet Sport we are happy to advise on alternative solutions.
