newbie question

Post by ummlee »

hello folks I am new to screen printing, I am needing some things printed and want to know it can be done using screen print. I need to print on to an area thats 3/4" x 2" and the text on the area will be small like 1/8" inch letters. The printing area will be painted black and needs to be printed with either white or silver. I need to do this for 30 pieces or so.

Can this be done with screen printing and look nice

I really appreciate your help

Thanks

There's no reason that you can't screen print this, the quality will depend on your mesh count and emulsion smoothness, something like capillex screen film will be better, it has a smoother profile.

You will have to use a high mesh count, probably 230 to get the letters to wash out properly. Otherwise, there is no reason this shouldn't work. Let us know how it goes.
