Screen Printing

Description

Screen Printing is done by printing ink through a fine mesh screen onto a substrate. There are three key components in the process. Art, Screens and the Prints. Each component is equally important. If one portion is not up to par, the whole project will suffer. We ensure quality by using high tension Shur-loc screens, the best printing equipment the industry has to offer, and our many years of experience in the industry.

The process begins in the art room. You send us your idea, and we make it a reality. Once the customer has approved their art on a virtual mock up, the design is then broken down into separate colors. This process can be fairly difficult, depending on the complexity of the design, and this is where our years of experience really shine!

Once separated, the design is then burned to a screen via our M&R exposure unit. The quality of the screen plays a very large role in the outcome of the print. A loose screen will not allow the clarity and colour saturation that a high tension screen does. We’ve made the investment in the finest screens available to get the job done right and it shows!

After the screen is made, it’s time to print. We felt we owed it to our customers to use the very best the industry has to offer; that’s why all of our printing is done on M&R Automatic presses. Unlike our competitors, nothing at Charm City is printed manually or by hand. Our automatic presses offer very consistent, sharp, vibrant images each time an order is produced.
