The Types Of Screen Printing Vermont

By Allyson Burke


The history of screen printing dates back to ninth century China. It was adopted by and improved upon by the people of Japan. It was slow to become widely used in Europe because of the difficulty in obtaining the silk mesh needed for the procedure. When trade routes opened up to Asia in the eighteenth century it was not long before it crossed to America. The basis for screen printing Vermont comes from these roots.

Early the next century scientists developed a procedure that used photo-imaged stencils to create the designs. This new process completely changed the industry for the better. The new technique took years to become popular but now most of the designs we see are made this way. This chemical compound has been made much safer today and can be purchased at retail outlets everywhere. This enables people to create their own designs and transfer them with ease.

Any design that you can think up can be recreated and transferred to another surface. You can choose from hats, shirts, Styrofoam placards or most any other surface you choose. Your company, family or association logos or emblems can be proudly displayed anywhere you go.

You may make as many copies of the designs as you please. The dyes and paints are replenished as often as necessary. The process is also very fast so planning time is minimal. Most orders take no longer than three weeks and if you find you need them sooner you can get them as soon as the next day. The only drawback to this is the price increase for rush jobs. You will pay anywhere from twenty five percent more to double the price should you want it tomorrow.

Some companies offer digital screen printing as well as the traditional style. The digital designs are truer in color and can appear far more detailed in design. The system works much like an ink jet printer and can duplicate your images exactly. This style is used for athletic organizations, social clubs and smaller associations or families. These designs take longer to produce and the designs while beautiful do not wear as durably as the traditional designs.

Most companies will give you a cost free layout for your design. They will also supply the item you want printed in the color or colors you request. Mass purchasing keeps the costs of these garments at a minimum for the consumer.

The types of fabric and textures of the fabric can also be varied. There are many different treatments available. You will be able to choose from puff, foil, transfers, roller and even applique. The consumer can also select special effects for the fabric such as dyes that will help to make your design truly unique.

The creation of your screen printing Vermont products is something that will be uniquely you or your company. The style and method you choose will speak to the focus of your passion. You will find no shortage of retail sources to choose from and many offer not only traditional but digital styles as well. You are the designer and they can help you make your selections.
