How We Print
In more than a decade and a half of printing, we have seen a lot of signage, stickers and labels, so you can rest assured that your signs are in experienced hands. Here is some more information about our processes, specifically, screen printing, digital printing and vinyl cutting, and sublimation.

Screen Printing
Screen printing is the process of ‘building’ a sign one colour at a time. It is the traditional way of making signs, and still gives the best quality finish. Sometimes, the old ways really are the best.
Once we have your artwork, we convert it into what is called a “film positive” then transfer onto a screen through an exposure process. Then we go into full quality control mode, checking over your image from top to bottom to make sure it has come out at the highest quality and is ready to begin printing. Once we are sure the image is as perfect as it can be, the final product is then printed one ‘run’ at a time. Screen printing gives a superior finish that is brilliant and vibrant.
