Crucial Sections on Screen Printing
Ink Types: Water-based vs. Plastisol: Benefits and drawbacks.
Mesh Selection: Choosing the appropriate mesh count for your design.
Registration & Alignment: Techniques to align your design perfectly on the tote bag, we will also show you how a 4 colour press works so you understand how a multi-colour print is made.
Troubleshooting: Solutions to common screen printing mistakes.
End Result
Walk away with 20 custom printed tote bags and the know-how to start your own screen printing adventures! We will offer as much guidance and advice that we can to assist you with any future ideas or plans that you have.
