SCREENPRINTING
PROCESS |
Screen printing is a form of garment decoration utilizing a stenciling process to transfer an image onto the print surface or substrate. Most T-shirts and apparel on the market today obtain their logos or designs through the screen printed process. The stencil used to transfer the image is known as a screen and consists of nylon mesh stretched tight over a frame. Each individual color in an image requires a separate screen. The first step in producing a screen is color separation. An image is digitally separated into its base colors, one color per screen, and output as a film positive the way they should appear on the printed surface. The film positive image is then transferred to the screen by exposing the film to intense light on photographic emulsion applied to the screen. This is called burning a screen. After the screens are burnt they are prepared to go onto a press. All the screens for an image are then alligned or registered to one another and the respective inks are loaded onto the screen itself. Next the press operator uses a specially designed squeegee to push the ink through the mesh of the screen and onto the substrate. The process is repeated for each color and when finished the result is a composite representing the original full color image. Most T-shirt and apparel inks are finally heat cured for long lasting color and durability. View the gallery to the left for examples. |

EMBROIDERY
|
Modern digital embroidery technologies in recent years have allowed garment decorators to acheive results unheard of until today, but there are still a few things to consider when looking into embroidery as an option. The first step is creating artwork for your embroidery. Keep in mind the spacing and size of letters and objects in your image. Letters and objects can run together if spacing is not done properly. Another thing to consider is the complexity of your design. Because embroidery is billed by the amount of stitches it takes to embroider a design, images with lots of detail or large areas to cover can be more costly than simpler designs. After your artwork has been refined it needs to be digitized for embroidery. This is a process where your artwork is converted into a stitched pattern. This price can also vary widely according to the stitch count. It is also important to consider the garment you are embroidering and whether or not bunching or other wearability issues occur. The best way to approach the embroidery process is to have an idea what you want, with size and placement, submit a request for a price quote, then proceed or make adjustments to your art. |
Graphics
ART Design |
In the apparel industry, the graphic designer plays an important role as translator of the customer’s vision to finished product, and there are a number of ways this is achieved.1. Concept to finish: Some clients need help formulating a concept for their design. This is where the designer acts as a “mind reader”, taking into account the clients tastes and the function of the art in order to create something that works well and appeals to the client. 2. From an existing concept: Other clients may have a concept in mind and through explanation can relate this to the designer to create something that appeals to them. This requires good communication. This may mean having examples to show what direction they want, color schemes or even making changes to existing artwork.3. Basic design: This would define the most rudimentery of design tasks such as picking a font for a name etc. 4. Finished artwork: Even if the client provides finished “camera ready” artwork the designer still needs to create color separations and film for screen printing or they will need to digitize the art for embroidery. All artwork no matter how it is created must go through this final step known as prepress production. View the gallery for examples. |
