Screen printing
Screen printing is a common method for printing on umbrella canopies. It involves using a stencil or screen to transfer ink onto the fabric. This method is suitable for simple designs or logos with a limited number of colors.
Advantages of Screen Printing:
- Exceptional Durability: Screen printing yields long-lasting, vibrant prints, ideal for frequent wear and wash.
- Vivid Colors: Offers rich and opaque colors, especially on dark materials, with a wide range of ink options.
- Economical for Bulk Orders: Setup costs are offset by low per-unit costs for large print runs.
- Custom Inks and Effects: Accommodates various specialty inks and textures for unique designs.
- Pantone Color Matching: Precise color accuracy for brand consistency.
Disadvantages of Screen Printing:
- Complex Setup: Initial setup can be time-consuming.
- Limited Detail: Fine details and gradients may be challenging to reproduce.
- Not Ideal for Small Runs: Inefficient for low-quantity orders.
- Slower Turnaround: Longer production times compared to digital printing.
