Silk Screen Printing

Krintech has been providing a high quality silk screen-printing service to manufacturers in London and beyond for the last three years. We specialize in printing industrial instruments and control panels of all shapes and sizes. We also screen print on a wide variety of other items such as metal plaques, name plates, zippo lighters, light switches, torches, computer flash pens, USB sticks, external hard drives, key pads, shower plates, turning dials/knobs, display name plates, exhibition display boards, corporate and wedding gift items and many more.

There are many advantages for silk screen printing: we achieve high precision artwork details on the smallest of items and there are endless permanent marking opportunities with the unlimited range of color printing onto 3D items. The other advantage of silk screen printing is it’s ideal for large volume orders and repeat orders.

Many of the items we print are destined for high-value industrial equipment. Consistent top quality printing is vital for these applications.

We pride ourselves on quick turnaround times and aim to get most jobs out in about 2-3 working days. Whether you want a single item printed, hundreds or even thousands, we can handle your order.

We offer discounts on large volume orders for silk screen printing.

How does silk screen printing work?

Silk screen printing is a method of printing based on stenciling. This method can be used to print on many different surfaces, including paper, fabric, metal, glass, wood or plastic.

A fine mesh (silk would have been used originally but nylon is often used these days) is stretched tightly across a frame to form the screen. An impermeable stencil (sometimes a coating of light-sensitive emulsion or film) is applied to the frame so that ink will only pass through to where an image is required. The screen is then placed on top of the fabric or surface to be printed and ink is placed on the top side of the screen. A rubber blade called a squeegee is pulled across the top of the screen, transferring the ink design onto the surface being printed beneath. A number of printing screens using different stencils and coloured ink can be used to create more layers to the design.
