The
layout is made according to the clients specifications, using
CorelDraw. After the proof has been accepted, we do a colour
separation and send the files to have positives made

When the
screen is dry, it is covered with a light sensitive photo emulsion
and left to dry in the dark room

The
positive is placed between the screen and a glass table. The screen
is developed through a short exposure with high intensity light

The
undeveloped parts (the image to be printed) is washed out, leaving
the image on the screen

The screen is
set-up on a vacuum table, and the first colour is printed by forcing
the ink through the screen using a squeegee.

After the ink
has dried, the process is repeated for every colour

Once all the
printing is completed, it is time to apply the double sided
adhesive. If necessary, some cut-outs are made in the adhesive.

Before we do
laser cut-outs, a protective layer is applied to the front
