We are manufacturers of high quality silk screen printing equipment with a strong emphasis on supplying equipment for the smaller scale printer. Our aim is to provide equipment that brings silk screen printing within reach of a much wider range of users than ever before. Our first major contribution to bringing silk screen printing within reach of the smaller scale printer was our development of the first commercially produced exposure lamp unit which utilises safe halogen lights rather than the much more costly and dangerous alternatives. See our basic printing guide for an explanation of how these lamps are used.
Silk screen printing is a hugely versatile technique that is relatively simple and very inexpensive when compared to other printing methods. It brings the possibility of high quality printing onto a wide variety of materials or objects, all within the reach of even the smallest workshop or home based printers. The beauty of silk screen printing is that it can be used to produce anything from near photographic quality images to coverage of large areas with strong even, opaque colour or even for applying varnish or glue etc. It is ideal for printing onto fabrics and the ability to produce anything from one print to several thousands makes it perfect for limited editions.
We specifically cater for the needs of artists, T-shirt printers, greetings cards printers, potters (for decal printing) and small businesses. Businesses can save costs and have a much more flexible prototyping system by printing their own advertising and promotional material as well as printing their own products and packaging (such as boxes, blister-pack cards etc.). Silk screen printing can even be utilised to produce high quality colour book covers for small publishers and self-publishers.
We believe that silk screen printing should be available to everyone, not just professional printers. Our policy is to use non-technical language wherever possible when describing products and materials. We will be introducing a wide range of silk screen printing products over the coming months, including more innovative equipment developments and eventually a complete range of equipment and materials so that this site can become your one stop shop for all your silk screen printing needs. So watch this space!
