Unraveling a Common Misconception

At Sunny Side Ink, we often encounter clients who believe that screen printing is a “one size fits all” process. This couldn’t be further from the truth! Today, we’re going to debunk this myth and shed light on the versatile nature of screen printing.

The Myth: All Screen Printing is the Same

Many people assume that screen printing is a uniform process, regardless of the design, fabric, or intended use. This misconception often leads to unrealistic expectations and disappointment when the final product doesn’t meet specific needs.

The Reality: Screen Printing is Highly Customizable

Screen printing is actually a highly adaptable process that can be tailored to suit various requirements. Here’s why:

• Ink Types: Different inks are used for different fabrics and desired effects.
• Mesh Counts: The number of threads per inch in the screen affects detail and ink deposit.
• Printing Techniques: Methods like halftones, gradients, and specialty inks can create unique effects.
• Fabric Considerations: The printing process is adjusted based on the material being printed on.

Why This Matters

Understanding the flexibility of screen printing allows for:

1. Better quality results
2. More creative design possibilities
3. Appropriate solutions for specific needs (e.g., durability for workwear, softness for fashion items)

At Sunny Side Ink, we take pride in our ability to customize our screen printing process to meet the unique needs of each client. Whether you’re in Las Vegas, Summerlin, or Paradise, NV, we’re here to provide tailored apparel printing services that go beyond the “one size fits all” myth.
