Screen printing is the core technique we use at Mark Two Print and is ideal for a wide range of promotional products.
It's a flexible process, carried out using a combination of automated machinery and skilled hand-printing, depending on the project. This method works by pushing ink through a fine mesh screen onto the product using a squeegee. Each colour is applied separately!
The finished result is a high quality print with sharp detail and bold, vibrant colours that stand out clearly both up close and from a distance.
Transfer printing is an effective method for applying full colour designs to items such as bags and garments, including t-shirts. It's particularly useful when screen printing isn't suitable, for example on curved or uneven surfaces.
With this process, the prepared transfer is positioned onto the product and placed under a heat press.
Heat and pressure are applied for around 10 seconds, transferring the design onto the item. Once complete, the backing paper is peeled away, leaving a clean, vibrant finish where the ink has bonded with the material.
Pad Printing is an especially useful printing method as an alternative to screen printing, primarily when the print is smaller and needs to be more precise, or if you require a printed design on a curved or uneven object - good examples of these include golf balls and pens.
The design is placed onto an engraved plate and a silicone pad is pushed down onto the design, transferring the inks onto the pad in the process. Finally, the pad is stamped onto the product. Like screenprinting, the result is vibrant with its colours, and overall more precise with the smaller details.
Embroidery is the main way to elevate established clothing with custom branding.
We can manage a multitude of durable and soft designs onto any type of clothing, whether it be workwear, hats, or polo shirts.
