Screen Printing
Screen Printing is a printmaking technique that creates a sharp-edged image using a stencil. Printers around the world use the term spot color to mean any color generated by a non-standard offset ink; such as metallic, fluorescent, or custom hand-mixed inks. The opposite of process inks. Essentially, spot-color separations are colors that are not used to create other colors.

Process Printing
Artwork is created using dots (CMYK) which combine to create the full spectrum of colors needed for photographic prints – this means a large number of colors can be printed using only 4 screens, making the set-up costs viable. The inks are required to blend and are more translucent, meaning a COMPROMISE with vibrancy of color. Therefore, usually  6 screens are required at least. On dark shirts even more screens may be required and that process is know as Simulated Process Printing.

Index Printing
Artwork is created using square dots instead of the halftone used in process printing. Each dot in an index separation is actually one square pixel, and the colors fit next to each other like a checker-board. The big advantage of this in screen printing is a reduction in dot gain. Very opaque colors are printed next to each other, not on top of one another as they are in process-color printing.

Discharge Printing
Used to print lighter colors onto dark background fabrics, they work by removing the dye in the garment – this means they leave a much softer texture. They are less graphic in nature than plastisol inks, and exact colors are difficult to control, but especially good for distressed and vintage prints.

Metallic, Clear, Glow in the Dark Printing
