All of us are now aware of screen printing. It is a method in which the ink used for printing is passed through a cloth or entangled surface. This is stretched out in a frame. A design stencil is used and with the help of the squeegee it is possible to transfer the colors to the parts of the stencil that are not blocked. This is a widely used method in the production of clothing such as shirts and other garments.

With the latest fashion trends, many companies are concerned and anxious when it comes to using screen printing, as for each color that needs to be incorporated into the garment, a separate screen must be used. There would be an increase in the cost of production, thus increasing the price of the final product. It is also not a wise decision to reduce the amount of production, since it would not be an economic proposition.
