What is Screen Printing?
From Wikipedia:
Screen-printing, also known as silkscreening or serigraphy, is a printmaking technique that traditionally creates a sharp-edged single-color image using a stencil and a porous fabric. A screenprint or serigraph is an image created using this technique.
It began as an industrial technology, and was adopted by American graphic artists in the 1930s; the Pop Art movement of the 1960s further popularized the technique. Many of Andy Warhol's most famous works were created using the technique. It is currently popular both in fine arts and in small-scale commercial printing, where it is commonly used to put images on T-shirts, hats, ceramics, glass, polyethylene, polypropylene, paper, metals, and wood.
What we do at Flint City T-Shirts:
We print ink directly onto shirts, using nylon mesh screens and inks made just for printing on T-shirts and other similar garments. Because it's not a transfer or an iron-on, like at mall-type shops and tourist T-shirt stands, the ink physically bonds with thefabric of the shirt, so it lasts much longer. The printed ink is cured in a conveyor oven (much like a pizza oven) at nearly 600 degrees, so it will stay looking great wash after wash.
