Assured Retail Services offer two different types of printing services to ensure we can cater to your needs to our full

potential- DTG Printing or Screen Printing.

 

Direct to Garment Printing is the process for printing full-colour images onto garments. Unlike screen printing, which can include expensive setup fees, DTG is perfect for short runs of full-colour prints onto a wide range of clothing. Here at Garment Printing, our DTG service produces high-quality printed clothing within a few hours of approving the artwork for your order. The perfect service to utilise if you’re running short on time!

 

Traditional / Direct Screen printing involves printing ink directly on to the garment fabric through a mesh covered aluminium screen.  Firstly the design is printed onto a film positive in opaque black ink. This is then placed onto the screen (that is coated in photo-sensitive emulsion) and exposed to UV light. The non-exposed area is then washed away using water, and the resulting stencil image is then revealed on the screen. Ink is placed on the screen, and a squeegee is used to push the ink through the stencil image (and mesh) and onto clothing. The printed garment is then dried by being passed through a gas heater. There is a separate screen for each individual colour used within the design.
