SCREEN PRINTING 101
How Does Screen Printing Work?
No Dinx uses both manual and automatic screen printing equipment. When using the manual technique, ink is hand pulled with a squeegee over a mesh screen. The ink transfers to the apparel through the isolated stencil cuts into the screen. The more colors used in a design, the more screens are used in the process. When using the automatic equipment, we are able to achieve greater detail and consistency on large production runs. Our automatic press can simultaneously pull ink across 10 screens at once, greatly increasing production volume for larger jobs.
Our Screen Printing Abilities
Plastisol:
For our standard printing process, we use Plastisol ink which is one of the most common inks used. Plastisol ink is a highly durable and flexible ink that is compatible with most kinds of garments making it highly versatile. Once printed and cured, it will hold to the garment well with little to no special care.
Discharge:
Another common ink we use to print here at No Dinx is Discharge, which is a specialty water based ink. Discharge contains an extra element within the water based ink that is heat reactive. When sent down the dryer, this element lifts the color of the garment under the print, leaving a natural colored base to enhance the color of the ink. After coming out of the dryer, the ink colors are saturated and soft to the touch. Printing with discharge inks is limited to 100% cotton garments and can make exact color matching tricky due to the natural color of garments being unpredictable.
Fashion Base:
Does your project require a less opaque look? Fashion Base is achieved when using a curable reducer to Plastisol ink to adjust the ink’s viscosity and create a less opaque printed product. Our expert printing team can help achieve a Fashion Base look that’s perfect for your project.
Simulated Process:
Simulated process printing is a process where we utilize art separation, sequences of colors, and flashing to create secondary and tertiary colors. This is a great option for printing photo realistic designs and retaining great opacity. Due to the high technicality of this process, additional design and press time may be needed to dial in your unique project.
Puff:
Want to add dimensionality to your project? Puff ink is a great way to elevate a design. Puff ink contains a heat enacted blower which causes the ink to expand and puff while going down the dryer. This ink creates a unique 3D effect which creates a textured, spongy surface. The amount of Puff or Ink Loft is often related to the thickness of the ink deposit. Puff ink can be used as a stand-alone product or in combination with other inks. We recommend using Puff ink only on shirts and sweatshirts. Our team can help you determine the best garment for these options depending on your project.
Metallic:
When you want a little extra bling, our Metallic inks give the look of metal for a truly unique look. These inks are plastisol-based, have a moderate to high sheen and are very opaque. Ideal for printing on darker garments for a fun metallic pop!
Shimmer:
Add some sparkle to your project with our plastisol-based Shimmer ink! Our Shimmer ink is composed of shiny metallic flakes that catch the light and have a vibrant, glitter effect on a garment. We offer several metallic Shimmer colors - chat with us about what’s best for your project.
Crystalina:
Interested in a beautiful pearlescent appearance on your next project? Crystalina may be the perfect option. This translucent, iridescent, large glitter flake creates a unique shimmery look and can be printed alone or over an ink to create a one of a kind look. Ask us if Crystalina can be used on your project.
Reflective:
Reflective ink contains small glass beads that are coated with metallic that create a reflective surface that light bounces off of. We recommend using dark garments or a tinted Reflective ink for the best results. Truly a unique decorative tool to increase nighttime visibility of a printed design.
Glow:
Our Glow-in-the-Dark ink is a phosphorescent ink that produces a bright glow when exposed to light and then viewed in a darkened area. ***Several colors or print directly over colors? It’s a great addition to any design to add a bit of mystery and fun! Talk to our team about using glow ink on your next project.
High Sheen:
High Sheen is an after print process where the ink print is pressed with a smooth film to create a glass like finish which creates a soft to the touch feel and high sheen look. Give your next project a slick look with High Sheen!
