Contract Acrylic Screen Printing
Custom screen printing has been around for a very long time, but the technology and methods have vastly changed over the years. No one method is perfect for every possible application, but some methods have many benefits that outweigh the drawbacks. Let’s take contract acrylic screen printing for example. Many screen printed designs get printed with plastisol inks because they’re cheaper and easier to use and reuse repeatedly, but it’s not the only option; you can do your screen printing with acrylic inks which are formulated differently to leave a soft feel on the garment!
Contract Acrylic Screen Printing
Plastisol inks are reusable because they don’t contain a solvent that will evaporate when left out, but that means you need to dry them using heat. The heat cures the ink which stiffens the print and makes it feel a bit heavy, especially if you’re doing a lot of coverage or multiple colors. Acrylic inks are different because they contain a solvent that is susceptible to drying out so you can’t reclaim excess inks after a job is completed. The tradeoff is that contract acrylic screen printing won’t have the same hand a plastisol print would. It feels lightweight and soft without sacrificing the brightness of your colors, so it’s perfect for fashion prints or flowy garments that you don’t want to weigh down.
