Art & Style specialises in printing. We wide range of other garments, promtional items and other products. We have inhouse printing facilities for the past 12 months, the following are the different types of printing available with us
Screen Printing
Screen printing is used to print everything from garment printing to novelties like coffee mugs, calculators, and other fun promotional items. Screen printing is most valued for its ability to print on a wide variety of materials with flexibility. Each color requires a screen. A frame is covered with screen material, and a stencil is affixed to the screen. Solid areas in the stencil block the ink from getting through the screen, while open areas in the stencil allow the ink to flow through. The ink is forced through the screen using a squeegee.
Digital Sublimation
This method of printing is achieved by cutting the design out of sheets of coloured ink which is heat sealed onto the garment. It provides a print which is extremely long lasting, does not crack or fade and is a lot sharper than traditional screen printing.
This type of printing is ideal for creating lettering from most standard computer fonts. Each garment can be printed in a different colour if required and there are no minimum order quantities.
