SCREEN PRINTING

The next stage was to get the banners screen printed. Separate Art works for each banners were prepared and sent to the printer for exposing it on to the Screen.

Most of the small scale screen printing jobs are done at NID. But due to the large scale graphics of the banners and the huge quantity, they were sent for screen printing to a printer at Behrampura.
Once, each screen was prepared, retouching needed to be done in order to block out all spaces left accidently and to give maximum finishing.

Selecting the right yellow
Though, sample prints are sent to the printer for colour suggestions, it becomes still necessary to personally go and get the right colour selected, as the colour looks different on paper and more different on cloth.

Once the colour is finalised, the screens are laid on the cloth, and the colour is spread across the required areas.
