SCREENPRINTING: Screenprinting is a printmaking technique that creates a sharp-edged image using a stencil. A screen is made of a piece of porous, finely woven fabric (originally silk, but typically made of polyester or nylon since the 1940s) stretched over an aluminum frame. Areas of the screen are blocked off with a non-permeable material—a stencil—which is a positive of the image to be printed; that is, the open spaces are where the ink will appear.

A blank t-shirt is placed on a shirt board and a screen is placed on top of the t-shirt. Ink called plastisol (essentially liquid plastic) is placed on top of the screen, and a squeegee (rubber blade) is used to push the ink evenly into the screen openings. The ink passes through the open spaces in the screen onto the t-shirt below; the screen is lifted away and the squeegee is pushed back. The shirt is then removed from the shirt board and sent through a conveyor belt dryer. The heat from the dryer is no less than 300 degrees F, and the heat fuses the ink to the fabric as it passes through. Once the shirt exits the conveyor belt dryer and cools down, it is ready to wear.

Printing on Black shirts will require what is known as a “flash-dry.” While the shirt is still on the shirt board the shirt is placed under a heater which gel-cures the ink. The printing process is repeated and an additional layer of ink is laid down. This insures that the Black color of the t-shirt is completely covered by ink, and that the print is opaque. It is more time-consuming, and generally Black and dark-colored t-shirts are more expensive than white or light-colored ones.

Screenprinting is a far more durable process than the commonly seen iron-on or heat transfer method used by many t-shirt sellers these days. Screenprinted designs last far longer, and will not fade. Over time cracks, may begin to appear in the design, but usually by this time the t-shirt itself has holes, rips, tears, or stains from regular wearing and washing. At this time you are ready for a new t-shirt!
