What is screen printing and why do it?
Screen printing is a widely accepted printing technique that has a long history of use. Screen printing is a way to transfer a design onto certain apparel such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets that are of different fabrics (cotton, polyester). At The Stitch Palette all of our screen printing is completed in-house from start to finish by our team of professional staff.
How does the screen printing process work?
The first thing we do is create a proof and email it to you for approval. Once we receive your approval, we then begin the screen printing process. At The Stitch Palette our team of professional, highly-skilled screen printers do all the work in-house. We never outsource our screen printing like some other companies.

Please see the steps below for an overview of how our screen printing process works:
Step 1: The approved design is created and put on a screen by one of our screen printers. Step 2: We then begin spreading a thick emulsion over the entire screen. This is a crucial step in the screen printing process. Step 3: A UV shielding ink is applied by one of our machines. This process has to happen quickly before the emulsion has time to dry. Step 4: We then give the emulsion some time to dry. Step 5: We then use a machine to apply ink onto the entire screen. Step 6: We finish screen printing your order and contact you for shipping or delivery of your order.
