Silk screen equipment is relatively easy to purchase. Silk screen equipment can be bought just about anywhere, like in bookstores and art supplies stores. Silk screen printing is so easy that it's being taught to children. But what children mainly learn from silk screen printing is using a single color to do their prints. To go commercial in silk screen printing, you'll be needing some serious equipment. That's because putting in more color in a silk screen printing is a difficult job. First, there's the print. You'll have to divide the artwork into colors and cut the pattern for each color and place it on a separate screen. When printing, it's a matter of superimposing the colors on each other, since each screen prints a single color, a lot of screen means a lot more color on your prints. But this is exactly where the difficulty lies in silk screen printing, having the patterns line up accurately enough so that the colors don't overlap each other. Beginners do it by scribing guide marks on each screen which they use to line up the screens to one another on printing. But doing this manually is a tedious job and requires much time since the printer must eyeball each guide mark so that it lines up perfectly.
What's needed in this case is a silk screen equipment that enables each screen to line up with each other perfectly as they are placed on the item to be printed on. To do this, one needs a jig, a silk screen equipment which essentially positions the screen and the item to be printed, so that each successive screen placed on the item to be printed lines up perfectly with the previous screen so that the paint deposited on the printing process gets deposited at the proper site on the item and combines with the other colors to produce a coherent image. For this kind of jig, there is no better manufacturer of silk screen equipment than HomeCashBusiness. They manufacture jigs from the simplest to one that almost 'automates' your production line. Take the simplest jig, the one-color, one-station jig. With this jig, any printer who's just starting a printing business can do one-color printing. The printer simply places the item to be printed on the station and it's a simple matter of swinging the screen holder over the item and printing can be done. But if you're printing big volumes, there's nothing like HomeCashBusiness' six-color, four-station jig which allows the printer to print 4 shirts simultaneously with as many as six colors. The screen holders are on a rotating holder and clicks into position over each station.
What this silk screen equipment does is to ensure that the screen or screens are always lined up with each other with respect to the item being printed. This ensures the accuracy of the print, where the paint is deposited where it needs to be deposited. Thus there's no overlap of colors and the print forms a coherent image even if only the colors define the form, shape and identity of the pattern. The jig essentially 'automates' the lining up of the screens with one another, the most difficult part of silk screen printing. Need to automate another aspect of your silk screen printing operation? HomeCashBusiness has the fastest dryer around, able to dry some 240 t-shirts an hour! This dryer uses a conveyor to slowly bring the shirts to the dryer and as it passes the dryer, the pigment sets securely and won't wash out. This dryer's speed is adjustable and this will enable the printer to adequately program the drying time for each item printed. And if it's supplies you need, HomeCashBusiness has everything you require, from paints to screens, frames and solvents.
