Advantages of Silk Screen Printing

Quantity

Large runs of identical graphics can be printed less expensively by screen printing as compared to digital processes. The larger the volume of the run, the more competitive screen printing becomes.

Print Quality

Generally speaking, the quality of screen printing is higher than digital. Small text and fine lines are good examples of screen printing’s strong points. Minute detail and precision are better able to be controlled over the course of the manufacturing run of large quantities.

Durability

Silk Screening creates more durable, long-lasting products. In silk screening, inks are applied in heavier, thicker layers for more vibrant and brilliant colors. Overlays are often “back printed” or “printed on the sub-surface” for added durability.
