Our in-house screen-printing department utilizes both existing and new technology in a complimentary blend. Four-color process UV screen printing machines are combined with several spot color tables to create each product.

Images can be produced in full coverage ink or half tones depending on the fabric. We can produce any number of products at any size requested. Flag Crafters can work from your design or allow our in-house graphics department to assist with the creative process and design.

Flag Crafters employs the latest techniques and applications ensuring customer satisfaction and high quality workmanship.

The Process:

Digital art is separated into four process colors, CYMK. An image setter first produces full-size film positives. Once it is coupled with a screen, they are both treated with a chemical allowing it to be developed in a dark room. Each individual color is printed with UV inks and then sent through a UV dryer, embedding each color into the film. Four-color process printing can create visually stunning replications of art and photography.

Full coverage screen-printing and half tones are produced on vinyl and Pyrotone. Halftones tend to be more expensive, printing 25 dots per inch. Bleed off onto the sides and sleeve is also an additional cost. Please provide layouts when requesting a quote for these processes.

Spot-colors and 4-color processing are very similar to each other. The main difference is the colors used. Spot coloring utilizes only one color (usually a PMS color), whereas the 4-color process creates each dye from CYMK.
