Screen printing first appeared in a recognizable form in China during the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD). The poster shop at Heart Mountain War Relocation Center was operated by Japanese-American internees who used the silkscreen method to design information for the entire center (January 1943) Origins Advanced uses include laying down conductors and resistors in multi-layer circuits using thin ceramic layers as the substrate. The technique is used not only for garment printing but for printing on many other substances, including decals, clock and watch faces, balloons, and many other products.
There are also different types of mesh size which will determine the outcome and look of the finished design on the material. There are special-use mesh materials of nylon and stainless steel available to the screen-printer. The most popular mesh in general use is made of polyester. Currently, synthetic threads are commonly used in the screen printing process. Traditionally, silk was used in the process. One colour is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multi-coloured image or design. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. The ink ingredients are not sourced from animals and our inks are not tested on animals.Screen printing (traditionally called silkscreen printing also known as serigraphy and serigraph printing) is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink (or dye) onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. Print Natural inks were also granted Approval by the Soil Association in the UK, having successfully met the requirements of the Global Organic Textiles Standards (GOTS) for use in organic textile processing. Our inks passed the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class 1 and are safe to use on underwear and baby clothes (infants under 2 years).
