There are many different types of screen printing applications and they are continually evolving throughout our industry.
One can not deny, that the embroidery and screen printing markets have drastically changed during the past 15 years.
It is very evident how technology has touched every sector of our lives and the graphic T-shirt industry is no exception.
Who would have predicted 15 years ago that we would have the ability to place a multicolored image by way of digital output, on a black tee shirt without having to go through the time and trouble of creating color separations and burning screens?
This process has given us a high-speed alternative to the old conventional rotary T-shirt printing press.
This new way of thinking was first starting to come on the scene in the early 90s though forerunners and developers of this technology were first starting to make an impact.
It allowed for a cost-effective way to cater to a short run of 12 pieces with an infinite amount of colors, with comparatively no set up or cleanup effort.
Embroidery has undergone similar changes to allow for maximum efficiency and minimal effort.
It is all driven by computer that moves the needle faster than the I can even see.
It all starts with the digitizing process where an accomplished digitizer will create a software program that tells the needle, not only where to throw the stitches but what kind of stitch to implement.
