Screen Hand Printing

We are also manufacturers of Hand Screen Printing for those who need Hand Made prints but with faster production.

How It Came Into Existence

Hand screen printing came about as a way to keep up with the growing demand for hand block printing, which was often more than artisans could supply. To boost production while still capturing the intricate designs and vibrant colors of block printing, manufacturers started using screens instead of traditional wooden blocks. This change allowed for quicker, more efficient printing, ensuring that the quality and beauty of the designs were maintained while meeting the increasing demand.

How it's different from Traditional Block Printing

• Technique: It uses a mesh screen to transfer ink onto fabric through a stencil, allowing for quicker replication of designs.

• Speed: This is a faster process, allowing larger areas to be printed simultaneously.

• Detail: This can achieve finer, more consistent lines but with less texture than block printing.

• Scalability: Ideal for larger production runs, as it increases efficiency without sacrificing design quality.

• Versatility: Allows for more complex and larger designs, as screens can cover a wider area.

• Cost: More cost-effective for larger orders due to faster production times.

• Artistic Expression: Focuses on consistency and precision across all pieces.
