Understanding Screen Printing

Screen printing merges artistic flair with meticulous precision, a craft where creativity meets technique. At its core lies a mesh screen, prepared to carry your unique design. Each hue in your artwork requires a dedicated screen, facilitating a build-up of colour and texture that surpasses what's achievable with other printing methods.

The journey begins with the screen being coated in a photosensitive emulsion, followed by exposure under a bright light, with your design placed atop. The design's covered areas prevent hardening, allowing us to wash away the unexposed parts, leaving behind an impeccable stencil of your design.

The Significance of Water-Based Inks

Choosing 100% water-based inks is a testament to our commitment to quality, sustainability, and the environment. Unlike traditional inks, water-based varieties penetrate deep into the fabric, forming a durable and lasting bond. They preserve the fabric's natural softness and enhance breathability, making them perfect for wearable items.

Our preference for water-based inks underscores our dedication to environmental stewardship. Free from the harmful chemicals present in conventional inks, our choice supports a healthier planet and aligns with our ethos: "Printed by the sea, with the world in mind."
