Styles Of Screen Printing Vermont

By Allyson Burke


Screen printing has a long history beginning in China starting in the ninth century AD. The technique was adopted by other Asian countries and was improved upon. It did not become popular in European countries until late in the eighteenth century when silk mesh became more available because trade with Asia became easier. American and screen printing Vermont stems from these basic sources and improvements.

A revolutionary new process was developed in the early nineteenth century when three scientists created a chemical compound that allowed photo-imaged stencils to be used for processing designs. Because of the risks involved it took many years to catch on. Now, however, all of the designs are created this way. The chemicals used have been condensed into packets that make use much easier. The process is so easy that many consumers design and create their own garments.

Any design that you can think up can be recreated and transferred to another surface. You can choose from hats, shirts, Styrofoam placards or most any other surface you choose. Your company, family or association logos or emblems can be proudly displayed anywhere you go.

The normal amount of time that it will take to process your order is between two to three weeks at most. The order can be as large as is needed and as many copies as you need will be made. The order could be hastened if necessary and you can get it in as little as one day. The problem here is that the price you pay will be as much as double for this service.

Another method has been developed recently and it is digital. With the digital system the colors are more exact and you get a lot clearer detail in the image. The concept work in the manner of an ink jet printer. The process is much slower than the traditional method but the images are exact and far more intricate. This new method is excellent for athletic uniforms, clubs and associations. The problem with digital prints is that they are not as cost effective as the other method and the images are not as durable with wear.

Most companies will give you a cost free layout for your design. They will also supply the item you want printed in the color or colors you request. Mass purchasing keeps the costs of these garments at a minimum for the consumer.

There are a multitude of different types of processes to choose from. These processes are called plastisol, puff, foil, transfer, flocking, roller and applique. They offer a wide variety of looks to choose from for your final design. They also can offer special effects fabrics that will help make your message unforgettable.

When selecting your screen printing Vermont shop you have many options to consider. The choice between digital and traditional is one that can be determined by the size of the order or the detail work that is in the design. The other options are not so easy to separate. The different fabrics, garments and processes can be baffling. You will need to visit many retailers to find the perfect solution for you and your associates.
