Frequently Asked Questions

What does the screen printing process achieve that digital doesn’t?

Spot colour, vibrancy, and cosmetic finish are superior to digital printing.

What is the advantage of Wide Format Digital Printing?

The advantage of wide format digital printing is that it is cost effective for smaller print runs and there are no printing plates required, This makes the pre press costs low. Another advantage is that we can colour match jobs on the spot straight from the file supplied, This makes the print process more time efficient.

Can you print a UV resistant colour?

UV resistant screen ink pigments are very well regarded in the print industry as having the highest level of UV tolerance. Screen Printing also has the ability to layer a UV filter clear ink over the finished print this increases the outdoor life of the print.

What is the minimum quantity to make screen printing worthwhile?

There is a cut-off point where the lower numbers of prints required may reach a point where the screen may be too expensive. This is something that we would advise the client of.

Is screen printing better for single colour or multi-colour?
