I have been asked on numerous times - why do you think Zulu Graphics is the best screen printer in Newcastle? I have decided to set you, our consumers, a challenge. Find me a better screen printer in Newcastle and I will relinquish our title.
First Challenge - Basic Printing Skills
At Zulu Graphics we take pride in our screen printing; it isn't about the money, it is about achieving our high standards on every job.
Firstly, we watch our coating.
What does this mean? Basically, when you screen print something you generally give it one or two coats. If we simply wanted to make money and did not care about the screen print quality, we could always do one coat of ink. But one coat isn't enough - particularly on dark garments. If you are screen printing a light colour onto a dark garment (say white ink on black t-shirts) one coat most commonly results in the print appearing "faded". This is good if you are trying to achieve that vintage look but if you aren't, you will be as disappointed with the one coat as we are. We prefer to keep our customers happy.
Secondly, we know our inks.
As in any job, there are certain things you learn while you work. Having been in the screen printing industry for 22 years now, we have learnt alot. Perhaps the most important thing is using the correct ink for the material. There are two basic types of ink: water-based and plastisol. Certain fabrics allow for a better screen print according to the type of ink you use. Whilst plastisol is more expensive, in some cases water-based just isn't sufficent. Unlike other screen printers, we do not charge extra according to the type of ink used, we charge only according to quality. To adhere to our high standards of screen printing, we make careful and informed decisions about the type of ink we use on your job and as such achieve the best results.
Unsure about whether your current screen printer knows their inks? Or think your print has too few coats?
Don't be afriad to ask. If you are unsatisfied with the answer, come and talk to me.
I will prove, over the next week, that Zulu Graphics is the best screen printer in Newcastle.
Bring on any contenders!
