1. Design Preparation:
- Create or obtain a high-resolution digital design of the “BR” logo or any other artwork you want to print on the polo shirts and T-shirts.
2. Screen Preparation:
- A mesh screen is prepared for each color in the design.
- A stencil (also known as a screen) is created on the mesh using emulsion or a similar substance. This stencil allows ink to pass through onto the fabric in the desired pattern.
3. Color Separation:
- If your design has multiple colors, separate the design into individual color layers. Each color will require a separate screen.
4. Printing:
- Place the polo shirt or T-shirt on a flat surface or a printing platen.
- Position the screen(s) over the shirt, ensuring proper alignment.
- Apply the ink to the screen, then use a squeegee to push the ink through the mesh and onto the fabric.
- For multi-color designs, each color is applied one at a time, with the shirt passing through a dryer between each color to set the ink.
5. Curing:
- After printing, the shirts are typically passed through a conveyor dryer to cure the ink. This process ensures that the ink bonds with the fabric and becomes permanent.
6. Quality Control:
- Inspect each shirt for print quality and consistency.
- Make any necessary touch-ups or adjustments.
7. Packaging:
- Fold and package the finished shirts according to your client’s requirements.
8. Cleanup:
- Clean the screens, squeegees, and printing area to prepare for future printing jobs.
