Silkscreen Printing

screen printing is a deocrating process of transferring ink onto t-shirts, jackets, pants, sweatshirts and various garments and textiles. screen printed is commonly used for tee printing.
silkscreen printing involves in making of moulds/boards for individual colours for print, hence the size and number of colours in the artwork will greatly affect the price. eg. the NCC tee (white) shown below requires 2 x moulds for the colours, green & black. the price of each mould costs around $20 plus. if your artowrk consist of 3 colours, then the cost of the mould will be $60 plus excluding the printing fees...
advantage: low price for bulk print with limited colours. able to achieve the desired colours and artwork.
disadvanatage: as artwork is printed on the shirt, the colours of e artwork might get dull after extensive wash for a couple of years.
