How much does screen printing cost

The cost of screen printing is determined by many order parameters. Basically, this is the size and complexity of the image, the type of surface on which it needs to be applied, the circulation, and many others. For the production of an order in an accelerated mode, you will need to pay extra separately. The table below shows the approximate prices for silk-screen printing in our company:

Pros and cons of screen printing

The main advantage of screen printing is its versatility. The peculiarity of this technology allows you to apply an image to products of various shapes and sizes, with a smooth, rough or textured surface. The image is very stable and durable. You can use a variety of inks for printing, including fluorescent or reflective inks.

At the same time, screen printing is much more complicated than other methods of applying an image, it will require more time and materials. Image resolution with this method may be lower than, for example, with UV printing. She will not be able to convey halftones or a gradient. Therefore, silk screen printing may not be suitable if you need to apply a complex pattern with a large number of small details.

UV printing (or UV printing) is a technology for applying a full-color image to business gifts and promotional products.

In addition, the method is widely used for applying to diaries, award steles and gift wrapping.

UV printing technology
UV printing is a type of direct printing using UV curable inks. Special ink under the influence of ultraviolet radiation passes into a solid state and, without being absorbed, adheres tightly to the base.

UV printing on flat surfaces

Almost any flat and smooth surface of a souvenir is suitable for application - UV-curable ink fits equally well on wood and metal, plastic and artificial leather. Select this printing method if you want to imprint batteries, diaries, reflectors, clips and pen cases, etc.

UVR Circular UV printing

The method has proven itself when printing on cylindrical surfaces made of various materials- plastic, glass, metal. It is possible to seal in full color thermoses and thermo mugs, glasses, water bottles. Technological limitation - the body must be a regular cylinder, without narrowing and thickening.

Advantages of UV printing on souvenirs

UV printing is more expensive than pad printing and one-color silkscreen printing. However, UV printing on plastic has a number of important advantages.

photorealistic image;
resistant UV printing on souvenirs;
large application area;
Possibility of producing small quantities.

Photorealistic image

UV printing, unlike tampon printing, allows you to apply a clear, high quality full-color image with a resolution of up to 1140x1200 dpi to objects, which makes the gift brighter and makes it stand out from the others. The photorealistic image looks organically on the gift, as if it was created together with the product itself.

It should be noted that it is impossible to select colors according to the Pantone scale when applying UV printing, since in this case the CMYK color model is used. To apply a logo in one or more Pantone colors, choose pad printing.

Permanent application

In terms of durability, UV printing is comparable to pad printing and is therefore ideal for branding souvenirs. Under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, the paints are firmly fixed on the base, and you can not be afraid that the paint will lie unevenly or wash off over time.

Large application area

UV printing allows you to create images that fill the surface of the product as much as possible - for example, lighters or flash drives. The absence of technological restrictions allows you to seal large areas almost to the edge, creating a unique design for the cover of a diary or packing box.

Possibility of producing small quantities

UV printing practically does not require preparatory work and does not involve initial costs, so the minimum print run for this type of application is 1 pc. This is one of the fastest printing methods, however, it must be borne in mind that the production of products with a large print area takes time.

It’s nice to turn ordinary things “like everyone else”, with a little effort, into your own, cozy, personalized. Good way- decorate them with an original pattern. And even if you consistently skipped art lessons at school, and you draw a little worse than a fifth grader, it doesn’t matter. This simple method will allow at least all the textiles and wooden surfaces in the house to be decorated with funny drawings. And please your friends with original gifts.

The authors of a resource popular among designers shutterstock offer to try a simple home printing technology. It is available to every owner. laser printer. Or someone who is not too lazy to go to the nearest copy center and print the desired drawing. This method will allow you to easily transfer the image to a fabric or wooden surface.

You will need:
Acetone (or a nail polish remover based on it);
Cotton pads;
Plastic card;
Scotch;
Ruler;
T-shirt/fabric/wooden surface on which the pattern will be transferred;
desired image.

Step 1: print the picture on laser printer in a mirror version. Jet printer in this case, a bad helper, because. does not guarantee even distribution of ink, which will be displayed on the final result. The darker the original image, the better.

Step 2: put down the sheet face down on a fabric or wood surface. It is advisable to fix it on one side with tape so that the picture does not “leave”. Soak a cotton pad or brush in acetone and carefully wipe the back of the pattern so that the paper becomes wet.

Step 3: take a plastic card and using it as a scraper, go through the entire reverse side drawing. It's like you're rubbing it. First from bottom to top, then from top to bottom, repeat several times. Press the "scraper" lightly so as not to tear the print. The main rule is all this time the paper with the image should be wet with acetone. This will help the pattern to adhere to the fabric or wood.

Step 4: gently pull the edge of the sheet with the image and evaluate how the “printing” process goes. When the drawing is completely transferred, remove the paper.

I present to you new technology applying photographic images to various surfaces (glass, metal, stone, wood, plexiglass, plastic, leather, and so on), which I simply called "Universal Technology" (Universal). With this technology, you can create a lot of options successful business, for example, drawing images on auto glass, car bodies, furniture glass, shower cabins, mirrors, stone, tiles and so on.

Many people know about glass processing technologies such as sandblasting, chemical matting, engraving. Each of them has both pluses and big drawbacks, for example, in sandblasting, even the most primitive, the construction of rather large sandblasting chambers is required, which must be equipped with an exhaust ventilation system, lighting, compressed air supply, in some cases - an abrasive recovery system . Add here mandatory application personal protective equipment, the duration of product processing (in the absence of a powerful compressor), the need to use special compositions to protect the image.

There are also many disadvantages in chemical matting; in some compositions for matting, compounds are used that are extremely harmful to health. The use of photomatting is also a complex multi-stage process. Therefore, work on safer and simpler processing methods was constantly carried out by me. The result was "Universal Technology".

An example of flat images on glass:

The name of the technology justifies itself, here it is Main advantages before other technologies:

Drawing images of photographic quality and large size on almost any surface (glass, mirror, metal, stone, wood, plastic, plexiglass, leather, and so on).
High quality and realism of the received images.
Creation of images with a stereo effect (volume effect).
The use of any printing devices (printers and so on) is not used.
No sandblasting or chemical treatment blanks.
Photoresist and similar technologies are not used.
For work, images of any format are used, both raster (photos, drawings, illustrations, scanned images, and so on), and vector ones.
To work, you do not need to have your own workshop or workshop at all - images can be applied directly to ready product(furniture, windows, showcases, cars, and so on).
The ability to perform the entire cycle of work by one person.
Intuitive and simple algorithm for performing work.
Starting capital from 5-7 thousand rubles (this amount does not include the cost of technology).
Absolute availability of all materials necessary for work.
The work does not require any artistic skills.
Very low cost - from 200 rubles per 1 square meter of product.
Images are very durable, do not fade, they can only be removed with a special composition.

These are the main features of the Universal Technology, in fact there are many more.

Drawing images is carried out using an airbrush for background work or a spray gun. Moreover, you don’t need to draw anything, a special coloring composition is applied by continuous spraying onto a workpiece covered with a special template. After removing the template, the image is almost ready, transmitting all the shadows and penumbra, as in the photo or bitmap. Thus, the minimum set of equipment that is necessary for this technology is the simplest airbrush or airbrush and a small compressor (2-3 bar pressure is required for operation).
