What are the Pros and Cons of Screen Printing?
Pros
Vibrant Colors: Screen printing produces vibrant and opaque colors, making it ideal for designs with solid colors and bold graphics.
Durability: Prints made with screen printing tend to be highly durable and long-lasting, even after multiple washes.
Versatility: Screen printing can be used on a wide range of substrates, including fabric, paper, plastic, metal, and more.
Cost-Effective for Large Orders: Screen printing becomes more cost-effective for large production runs due to economies of scale.
Cons
Limited Color Options: Each color in the design requires a separate screen, which can limit the number of colors that can be used in a design without significantly increasing costs and production time.
Not Suitable for Detailed Designs: While screen printing is excellent for bold and solid designs, it may not be the best choice for designs with fine details or gradients
Not Ideal for Small Orders: Due to the setup time involved, screen printing is less cost-effective for small production runs.
